Bunkers   
A player, expecting his shot may well go into a bunker, rakes the bunker 
to improve the surface before he plays.
Is this OK

Yes.

  There is no restriction under Rule 13-2 or Rule 13-4 if his ball does 
not lie in the bunker.

What about dec. 13-2/28 ?   
13-2/28  Smoothing Irregularities in Bunker Situated Between Ball and Hole

Q. There is a bunker between A's ball and the hole. Before playing, A 
smoothes footprints and other irregularities in the bunker on his line of 
play. Was A in breach of Rule 13-2?

A. Yes, such action would improve the line of play, contrary to Rule 13-2.

Ok...we were not aware, from the original post, as to whether the bunker 
in question was actually on the line of play. "Expecting his shot may 
well go into a bunker" is not that specific. (I always expect my shots 
to go into bunkers, line of play or not, and they usually do!!) There 
are a whole bunch of decisions on "improving the line of play" in this 
context. and if this IS the case then you are right.....and the Decision 
is relevant.

cheers

So, exactly what situation did you have in mind 
then when you read the post?  What else can, 
'...There is a bunker between A's ball and the 
hole...' possibly mean?
