Step 1:
Finish
hitting your ball out of the sand trap.
Step 2:
Take
the rake and, with long strokes, start from
the innermost part of the trap and rake toward
the outer edge.
Step 3:
Walk
out of the trap as you rake, taking care to
step in the footprints you made while entering
the trap so that you won't make an extra set
of footprints.
Step 4:
Watch as you rake to make sure you eliminate
your footsteps and divot.
Step 5:
Rake
until the trampled area blends into the rest
of the sand trap.
Step 6:
Place
the rake back inside the sand trap (not on the
grass), then carry on with your game.
