Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully rake and smooth over all impressions and footprints and then leave the rake at the lowest reachable points with the handle pointing toward the tee of the hole being played.

1. Always enter the bunker at the lowest point.
2. Rake towards yourself as you exit the bunker.
3. Rake other affected areas, regardless of how they came to be.
4. Do not pile sand at the edge of the bunker. Push back excess sand, using the back of the rake on downslopes.

Always repair your pitch-marks and any others that you see from a previous player. Immediate repair of damage to greens has a material impact upon their recovery.

1. Always start at the back of the mark and push forward with the repairer.
2. Use repairer around all sides and slowly ease turf toward the centre of the mark. Do not lift the soil upwards, as this damages the roots.
3. Lightly tap down with putter.

1. Remove any loose turf from the affected area.
2. Knock in all sides of the edge of the divot.
3. Fill divot with sand, and tap with your foot to the surrounding level.
