    Rake in the Bunker

    I played Pakenham today. My ball rolled into the bunker and came to rest beside the handle of a rake that was left in the bunker. I'm sure my ball would have continued to roll out of the bunker. I moved the rake and took my shot. My partner wondered if I should have played the ball as is, leave the rake where it was and take my chances. Just a fun round but it would be nice to know the rule....

    As the rake is a movable obstruction you can move it and if your ball moves you must replace it without penalty.
