I'm interested to hear the opinion of my fellow THPers on how to interpret this "waste" area on a course we recently played. My interpretation of the sign is that the area is NOT considered a waste bunker, therefore you cannot ground your club. However, if you look at the area, there has clearly never been a grooming machine in it which could result in some very ugly (and unplayable) lies. There were also no rakes anywhere to be see which suggest it as a waste bunker. You could, however, get a completely unplayable lie which I think is somewhat unfair. What do you guys think?
