As for the comments about not enough rakes or rakes being too far away I wonder if courses could just equip each golf cart with a rake or give each group/player a rake that they can carry in their bag for the round?

I hate when my ball lands in a large divot in the sand where the previous golfer refused to rake. And moving the ball is not how the game is supposed to be played.
During Covid i'd use my club to smooth over the area I hit from. Golfers who refuse to rake could at least do that.
The solution is adding more rakes to the bunkers. It's an issue I plan on addressing with my greens superintendant.
