Can you walk into a bunker pick up a rake then rake footprints then move round to other side of same bunker then take your shot?
Updated: 9/27/2023
Yes, you are allowed to do this. It is one of the biggest misconceptions in Golf. You are not allowed to improve your stance or lie, so if the footprints are on the other side of the bunker it is fine to rake them. However, since most people are unsure of this rule you may want to leave it until you play your shot as to not raise any questions. As I said, it is perfectly legal to do what your question asked.
