Misc./2 Whether Rakes Should Be Placed In or
Outside Bunkers
Q. Should rakes be placed in or outside bunkers?
A. There is
not a perfect answer for the position of rakes, but on balance it is
felt there is less likelihood of an advantage or disadvantage to the
player if rakes are placed outside of bunkers.
It may be argued that there is more likelihood of a ball
being deflected into or kept out of a bunker if the rake is placed
outside the bunker. It could also be argued that if the rake is in the
bunker it is most unlikely that the ball will be deflected out of the
bunker.
However, in practice,
players who leave rakes in bunkers frequently leave them at the side
which tends to stop a ball rolling into the flat part of the bunker,
resulting in a much more difficult shot than would otherwise have been
the case. This is most prevalent at a course where the bunkers are
small. When the ball comes to rest on or against a rake in the bunker
and the player must proceed under Rule 24-1, it may not be possible to
replace the ball on the same spot or find a spot in the bunker which is
not nearer the hole — see Decision 20-3d/2.
If rakes are left in the middle of the bunker, the only way
to position them is to throw them into the bunker and this causes damage
to the surface. Also, if a rake is in the middle of a large bunker, it
is either not used or the player is obliged to rake a large area of the
bunker, resulting in unnecessary delay.
Therefore, after considering all these aspects, it is
recommended that rakes should be left outside bunkers in areas where
they are least likely to affect the movement of the ball.
Ultimately, it is a matter for the Committee
to decide where it wishes rakes to be placed.

DECISIONS
APPLICABLE ONLY IN THE USGA'S RULES JURISDICTION


enfin, on en avait discuté sur le site de la fédé et de mémoire le dernier conseil R&A est de laisser les râteau à l'intérieur.

Alors l'USGA et le R&A ne sont pas d'accord.
Perso je les laisse à l'extérieur dans le sens du jeu.
Avoir une position encore plus difficile dans le bunker à cause d'un rateau mal placé, je trouverai ça injuste.

dans le bunker là ou ils générons le moins le jeu, donc plutôt sous la lèvre à l'entrée.

c'est d'ailleurs la recommandation du R&A (qui à souvent changé mais bon).

Certainement pas là car celui qui a la malchance de rentrer doucement dans le bunker est sur d'avoir un coup injouable.

Il faut le mettre dans le bunker dans le sens du jeu et de sorte que si une balle s'arrete dessus le coup soit possible.

Mais c'est vrai il n'y a pas de regle
