Would you still play golf if you had to bring your own rake?

[wils5150]

Yes that would be a start. Most don't know how to use a rake either. We get the combo here greens full of holes and trampled bunkers. The icing on the cake is the sand they spray all over the green trying to get out. Nothing makes me happier than putting over craters, pebbles and granules. If I start carrying anything extra it's going to be a leaf blower.

welcome to the world of public golf!!!!!!!!!!!!( although some private clubs are not much better)

My home course is semi-private and was once a 55 and over country club. It is pitch mark city. Ironically the best kept courses I play are the rinky-dink city courses. The best greens I play are on a course with $32/w cart fees. They also have the best kept sand despite the abundance of pebbles. But I've yet to find the perfect course. It's always something.

I also suspect that if any (or all) courses adopted that policy the starter would be checking to see that you have a rake in your group. Kinda hard to fake having a rake when you do not in fact have a rake.

Lmao Can I please have that quote cemented in history as the #1 quote if all time?? "Kinda hard to fake having a rake when you do not in fact have a rake." Priceless.

Priceless.

As much as I love @Ernest Jones , I still have to ask:  Wouldn't it be even harder to FAKE having a rake if you did, in fact, have a rake??

The issue isn't whether I'd bring a rake. The issue is whether the inconsiderate golfers ahead of me would bring a rake. I'd say that it's a pretty fair bet that the majority would not. Therefore, I'll tend to pass on that particular course.....

.....I'd golf, just not there.

I played a residential course in Florida last year and all the carts had rakes. There were no rakes anywhere else on the golf course. At one point I had to go back a couple of holes and get it because I just threw it beside the bunker after using it.

Fair point well made @Golfingdad , although I would argue that they are probably pretty equal in difficulty as they would both involve some kind of optical illusion or sleight of hand. Perhaps a Romulan cloaking device which may actually be obtainable at Fresno's town hall.

LOL, definitely!!

BTW, I saw this thread the other day when it was first started.  I thought it was absurd, and I wrote it off.  I would have set the over/under post count by the time it died at something like 2.5.

Boy, was I wrong. ;)

[PaneraiMan]

I don't think everyone will bring one, so you might be raking for others. I don't want to be a rake man

Be glad I didn't ask if you would still play golf if Zekia's fashion became the norm! :)

If the caveat was that all women who dress like that must have a body like hers, then I would be all for it, and I would definitely be out on the course as much as possible. ;)

I bring my own beer................that is enough to carry.

What if you have a fake rake to fake the fact that you don't want to take a rake?

[Golfingdad]

Or take a rake you make so you don't have to fake the rake you didn't make, then your buddy Blake flings it into the lake, creating a wake, causing Jake to bake a cake, for Heavens sake!

Thread of the year!!!! Haha love it.

[chip n run]

I would not bring one - that way I would make sure to steer around bunkers.  Probably have lower scores !!!!!!!!!!!!!
