How to tend a flagstick - Did you know there was a technique?

- Stand beside the flag so that you are not in anyone's line and your shadow is not
in the line of the person putting.

- Hold the flag and flagstick together so that the flag does not hang or flop.

- Lift the bottom of the flagstick out of the cup-liner to ensure that it does not stick
in the liner and angle it away from the player

- Remove the flagstick as soon as the putt is on its way and step away from the
hole without stepping in anyone's line.

How to rake a bunker - it's your responsibility!

- Always enter and exit a bunker at its lowest point to prevent damage to the sides.

- First fill in any holes that the ball made when it landed or that you made taking
your stance.

- Rake away from yourself as you exit the bunker

- A criss cross style is best. Straight back and forth can leave horrible deep
grooves.

- Most importantly: leave a bunker in the way you would like to find it. If there are
footprints beyond those you made rake them too!
