Raking of #6 bunkers

The faces of the bunkers on number 6 seem to plug worse than others because of the steep slopes and the angles of the balls that are hit into them. We have started to rake them like they did at the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne in 2011. We have already received a few comments that this is helping with playability out of those bunkers. Below are a few pictures.

#6 with same technique.  We are experimenting with what works best and may smooth out even farther down the face.
