I agree that people need to learn how to rake a trap (the sand is pushed away from you back into the trap, not pulled toward you and out of the trap) and how to do it quickly and efficiently. But rakes need to be there. If you're not going to have rakes, then don't have bunkers on the golf course at all.

Rakes were quarantined. Didn't want people sharing "surfaces" with their hands.
Agreed it was a silly measure but over reaction was what this country was all about for a while.
