Standard Golf Chief Bunker Rake

The Chief will come in a 20" (51 cm) head and will have three different handles: 54" (137cm) Green Aluminum 60" (152 cm) Green Gator Grip 72" (183 cm) Green Gator Grip (The 54" (137 cm) and 60" (152 cm) head and handles will ship in boxes of 12 while the 72" (183 cm) will ship in a box of 6.

One smooth side for rolling the vertical face of the bunker and a second side with ridges to scrape the bottom of the trap for a consistent lie. The result is a more consistent finish than traditional bunker rakes that leave deep plow marks in the playing surface.

Golf course superintendents are increasingly adopting the “Aussie Style” of maintenance in sand traps. The goal is to cultivate smooth, tight sand on the vertical areas of the bunker. This ensures balls that land here will not plug and roll back down to the bottom of the trap, where the sand is not very deep and will be “scrapped” for a consistent lie.

Approximately one-third of golf courses in the United States have adopted the Aussie Style — including Quail Hollow, the site of the 2017 PGA Championship — and have done so without bunker rakes specially designed for this style of play. Enter The Chief.

The Chief will come in a 20" (51 cm) head and will have three different handles:

• 54" (137cm) Green Aluminum 
• 60" (152 cm) Green Gator Grip
• 72" (183 cm) Green Gator Grip

(The 54" (137 cm) and 60" (152 cm) head and handles will ship in boxes of 12 while the 72" (183 cm) will ship in a box of 6.)

The newest two-in-one "Aussie Style" bunker rake from Standard Golf is the first of its kind.
