Caddie In The Bunkers

BUNKERS

When your player’s ball lands in a bunker there are special
duties that need to be performed.

1. Stand outside the bunker as your player is making
the shot.

2. After your player has completed the shot, take the
club and lay it on the bag that you have placed on the
ground outside the bunker. WARNING: Never lay or
bring the golf bag into the bunker.

3. Enter the bunker at the same spot your player did. Try
to enter at the lowest point of the bunker so as not to
damage the lip. Smooth the footprints and ball mark
by using the rake located somewhere near the bunker.
If a rake is not available, use your shoe to smooth the
sand. Be sure not to disturb the other players as you
are raking the bunker. Ask your Caddie Superintendent
where rakes are placed around the bunker (inside or
outside). Replace the rake in that spot.

4. Pick up the bag and club and move quickly to your
player’s next shot. Again, you can clean the club as
you walk to the next shot.

5. If your player is in a green side bunker, hand the putter
to your player if the shot landed on the green, before
raking the bunker. If the shot did not land on the green,
stay with your player until the ball lies on the green.
Then proceed back to the bunker to rake.
