It has come to the attention of officials that some players are not following one of the basic rules of golf etiquette. Please take note that after taking your shot in a bunker you must rake the bunker. It is disappointing that there are some who are not. Players are asked to ensure that you or anybody in your group adhere to one of most basic rules of golfing etiquette.
