At my club we like to debate many different issues. Some of the golf related issues seem to be brought up more often than others. I'd love to get yall's answers to these 5 questions. And at the club it's almost like the answers are divided right down the middle. Maybe on THP one answer for each question will be more prominent.

(1) Where should the rake for the bunker be placed?
- Just inside the bunker
- Just outside the bunker
- No rakes at all

(2) If you find yourself in a sanded divot (not a bare divot) should it be considered GUR and should you be allowed a drop?

(3) Should you be allowed to flatten or tap down spike marks on a green that's in your "line"?

:Random Questions now:

(4) What was the better shot (better in your eyes could be skilled need to pull it off, what was on the line at the time, conditions and result, etc)? Phil Mickelson behind the tree on #13 at Augusta 2010 Masters or Tom Watson's chip in green-side #17 Pebble Beach 1982.

(5) Was Johnny Miller's final round of 63 at Oakmont to win the US Open by 1 the most impressive round of golf ever played??

Have Fun! Let the debates begin

1.) The rakes should be placed inside the bunker so as not to prevent a ball from going into the bunker. If the ball lands near enough to the rake as to interfere with the shot, then the rake is able to be moved. No rakes at all is just silly.

2.) Yes, because that sand was put there for just that reason. To repair the ground. A ball should have to be fully in it though, not resting on the edge. Fully in.

3.) No, you cannot remove foreign objects (save a rake) from a bunker, so why should the spike marks be treated differently? I know the two things are different, but spike marks should have been repaired by the person who made them, as should ball marks.

4.) Phil's shot at the 13th because of the 'nads it took to hit it. He knows that if he doesn't carry that creek and hit the green, his chances are probably slim of winning. But because he makes the birdie (SHOULD'VE BEEN AN EAGLE, BUT WE ALL KNOW HE CAN'T PUTT) he wins the tournament.

5.) No. It was Arnies 65 at Cherry Hills to win the 1960 (I believe) US Open.
