We were greeted by a stuck cart to start the week. Haven't had one in awhile, but with the soggy spring, it was only a matter of time. It is a great reminder of the hazards that exist on the course and how important it is to be aware when driving a cart. This cart traveled through about 20 yards of standing water before it went to its final resting place. Now we didn't have this area roped off, but it was on the far right of #6 down by the creek, and there was standing water everywhere. When water is visible, we generally assume that the members know not to drive through it, but alas, I stand corrected.

| Difficult to see in this picture, but there was visible standing water through the entire area before it got stuck. Had they realized they were in a tight spot and just backed out, they would have been fine. |
 |
| Good and stuck. |

| Need I say anything? |
Bunker Rakes - As I mentioned in the Highlander this month, I thought I would post a couple of pictures of what proper bunker rake placement looks like. The fundamentals are simple. Replace them in the flat areas of the trap along the edge in a fashion that will minimize the chance that a ball may come to rest against it.

| Here's #16 green. The rake is on the edge opposite the green. |
 |
| Rakes evenly spread on the edge away from #7 green. |
 |
| As a nice touch, you can leave the handle just on the grass edge to make it easier to pick up. |
Hope this clears some things up. I will repost these photos at different times and with some improper member placements as the season continues.
