Golf ettiquette

We often talk about fixing ballmarks, replacing divots and monitoring pace of play as ways for you to enhance you understanding of ettiquette on the golf course. One that occasionally comes up is where you enter and exit a bunker. ALWAYS ENTER (AND EXIT) A BUNKER ON THE LOW SIDE. As you can see, the bunker on the 12th hole has "goat tracks" from golfers trying to walk up the grass face of the bunker. This is extremely expensive to repair because it requires re-sodding the entire face. Sometimes, it even involves reshaping the bunker face.
