Where should bunker rakes be placed?

More about the placement of bunker rakes

The placement of bunker rakes is a subject that has sparked debate among golfers for many years. Some golfers prefer to leave the rakes in the bunker flat on the bottom in the line of play (to ensure any ball that comes to rest against a rake is on a flat lie not on a sloping bunker face). Others believe they should be placed outside the bunker.

The goal is to ensure that the placement of bunker rakes does not interfere with the play of the game or create unfair playing conditions.
