‘Becoming a Real Problem’: Golf World Reacts to a Disturbing Photo from the Course

Golf is one of the most popular sports in the world. Along with professionals, many recreational golfers play it for various reasons. Moreover, there are millions of golf courses across the world where these golfers play and have a great time. 

However, on a golf course, there are a few rules and etiquette that every golfer playing should follow. For example, fixing a divot, raking a bunker after playing the shot, etc. But nowadays, there are instances where golfers do not follow these course etiquette and have been ignorant, which creates trouble for others playing on that course. 

Are golfers becoming ignorant of the course etiquette?

When you sign up to become a golfer, no matter at what level, it is imperative to follow the rules and etiquette of the game. And this is the perfect way to show the respect we have towards the game. However, due to the negligence of a few people, other golfers playing there suffer.

Recently, a photo’s been making rounds on social media showing a rake kept outside of the bunker. Hence, a prominent golf Twitter account, Club Pro Guy, shared the image and wrote, “Members – Stop doing this! Rakes are to be left outside the bunker and parallel to the line of play.”

Moreover, this is one of the most basic decorum that everyone needs to follow on a golf course. After raking a bunker, the player or his caddie should keep the rake outside the bunker. Additionally, they should also make sure that it is parallel to the line of play. Following this hardly takes a couple of minutes. But it can be frustrating for other golfers if the same is left inside the bunker.  

Here’s how the golf world recently reacted to this post:
