Raking a Sand Trap

Read this entire section on raking before raking a sand
trap. There are many conditions that will determine the
adjustments necessary. The texture and depth of the sand,
moisture content, weeds, and the amount of compaction are
all factors that can vary from course to course, or even from
trap to trap on the same course. Make the adjustments on the
rake for optimum results in your particular area.
Learning How to Rake
Practice raking in a large and level trap on the course. Practice
starting and stopping, turning, raising and lowering the rake,
entering and leaving the trap, etc. Practice at a moderate
engine speed and a slow ground speed. This training will
help the operator to gain confidence in the performance of
the machine.
The recommended pattern for raking a trap is shown in
Figure 25. This pattern avoids unnecessary overlap, keeps
compaction to a minimum, and leaves a neat, attractive
pattern on the sand. This is the most efficient raking method,
