Please Be Careful When Raking Bunkers

This is the back of the new right greenside bunker on #10.  It is important to carefully rake the edge when exiting the bunker as the sand pulled up on the edge and dragged into the rough will eventually kill off the grass, causing the edge to break apart and the bunker will begin to deteriorate.  Also, this is a high side of the face and not an ideal place to exit as it will create a lot of disturbance to the face, which then creates a lot of raking to try to replace the sand that was pushed down, which in turn leads to this problem.
