At Least Once a Season a Rake Saves My Ball from a Bunker… So Why Would I Want Rakes to be Stored Underground?

Isn’t the game hard enough? Well, the inventors of USPN 6691887 titled “Underground Rake Storage Apparatus and Method” must not think so. The ‘877 patent discloses a unique underground storage system and keeps rakes out of the way and nicely presents them when needed. Check out this device.

The device looks a little complex (i.e. costly). Interesting idea nonetheless, and I could see the USGA using these at tournaments.
