Etiquette for Entering & Exiting Playing Areas in Golf

Video Transcript

" Hi, I am Kinsey Snyder on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip I am going to talk about bunker strategy and bunker etiquette. As you can see here I pulled my shot little wayward here into the left side of the trap; and you can also tell this is very steep bunker face, the last thing I want to be doing is from up in here, coming into the bunker this way. I could have a good chance to hurt myself first of all, and plus the bunker sand is all going to be pushed down here, and it is going to make really deep footprints. So what I would prefer you do, and what I would do is I would come around the back side of the bunker here, where the lip is going down towards the hole, and come in this way, okay. So from here now you could see I haven't made a mess, and I have the rake right there, I can hit my shot, and then from here I can exit from where I entered, much easier, it is going to be much better for the golf course; and just remember that do not come down the banks, but go around them, thank you."
