Here's a good one. I was playing a round the other day with a couple of guys. One was a teaching pro. and the other one, his student. We were playing behind a guy and his wife. They really were really hacking it up, especially in the sand traps. To make matters worse they hadn't figured out what the rakes were for. They would not rake the traps after they took six or seven shots to try to get it out.We told them what the rakes were for, but they still wouldn't rake them. We informed the ranger but after he talked to them it seemed to get worse. Now the problem, I hit a shot in a fairway bunker that one of them had been in. My ball landed in a hole that they had made trying to get out.I asked the other guys what to do.The pro told me to pick up my ball and rake the trap then replace it and take my shot. Is this right or do I incur a penalty. I am going to post this score so I need to know what score to post
