Better still, if you are a skilful sand player, then unraked bunkers offer an opportunity to demonstrate your prowess and gain a deserved advantage over your opponent or the field.Just like a really tight lie does for the skilful chipper near the green.

I say: get creative; embrace the challenge; see it as an opportunity to show your skills. Work out how to play the chunk and run from a footprint.
