why is it important to clean the bunker?
All golfers should consider the conditions of the bunker. To make the cleaning process more manageable, you should enter and exit nearest to your ball so you don’t have to sweep the entire bunker. A rake is a tool that is used to sweep the bunker. Usually, you will find them next to the bunker. Once you finish your shot, grab the rake over all the disturbances you made on the sand until it is neat. The disturbances include footprints, impact zones, and more. To rake the sand evenly, you must push and pull the rake over the sand with even pressure. The last part is walking backward while raking the footsteps made until you exit the bunker. This way, you eliminate all the footsteps made on the sand. Finally, replace the rake where you found it. Done! You aim to make an even surface, like when you entered the bunker for the next person. Sweeping the bunker is another manner that everyone should follow on the golf course. It would be best to sweep the sand to make it fair for everyone. The disturbances in the sand might unexpectedly affect another golfer’s ball, which would be unfair to golfers behind you. Let's make it fair for everyone with some simple actions!
