If there are stones and leaves next to your golf ball in a bunker are you allowed to move them?
You are normally not allowed to remove any loose impediments from a bunker, however there is usually a local rule that states you may move stones without penalty, although you may not remove leaves. Check local rules on scorecard or pro shop before you tee off.

Can you obtain relief for gur in a bunker?
Yes, if a bunker is marked GUR you are entitled to a free drop. To do so, you remove your ball from the bunker, and from the nearest point of relief you are allowed one club length, you drop your ball and play. If there is water in the bunker and there is no GUR marked you are allowed a free drop in the bunker, no nearer the hole. If you cannot get relief from the water you can either play it or you can take a penalty drop out of the bunker.
If a player putts and misses the ball runs into a bunker can he pick up and drop ball back on green from were he played?
No, because you are not allowed to drop a ball on the green. So you would have to play it out of the bunker. And even if you could drop it on the green it isn't rally in the spirit of the game.
Why can't you ground your club in a bunker?
Yes, you may do so, the key distinction that you have made in the question is the ball 'out' of the bunker. If the ball is still in the bunker you would be penalised two shots for grounding a club in a hazard. If the ball is no longer in the bunker you are in you may ground the club, but be aware, there is really no need to.
In golf if a dead bird is in a bunker near the player's ball in the same bunker it may be removed with penalty?
The rules do not specify the procedure for such an occurance. But you would be allowed to remove the bird, if you could bring yourself to do it.
What do you do when your ball rests on a rake in a sand trap?
No, you are not allowed to do so, you must not rake the bunker or smooth sand over with your feet, as this is deemed to be improved your stance or testing the ground conditions. You will get a two shot penalty for testing, if you do so.
Are you allowed to rake a bunker that you have just played out of if your ball goes into another bunker green side?
Yes, absolutely. Each bunker is considered an individual hazard, not a collective hazard of bunkers. If you play out of one bunker and land in another, you may rake the one you have just played from. Note, there is a common misconception that if you are in a bunker and rake footprints before you play your shot you are penalised, this is not the case, you are only penalised if you improve the lie of the ball, your stance or test ground conditions.

What is transfer of momentum in a bunker shot?
Transfer of momentum in a bunker shot refers to the efficient transfer of energy from the club to the sand and then to the golf ball. By striking the sand behind the ball with speed and control, the momentum is shifted to the ball, allowing it to pop up and out of the bunker. This transfer is key for generating height and distance on bunker shots.

This is known as casual water. You are allowed to take relief, you do so as follows, drop the ball anywhere in the bunker, no nearer the hole. You do so unless the course manager has designated the bunker Ground Under Repair, in which case you get a free drop out of the bunker.
Can you remove a stick in front of your ball in a bunker?
Generally, no. Loose impediment. 2 stroke penalty. If that stick is attached to another stick with a bunch of little sticks (i.e., a rake for the bunker), then yes. Also, you cannot remove leaves from the bunker or loose pebbles. having said that, don't ruin your wedge grooves by playing out of crappy bunker conditions if you're just practicing. Pebbles reek havoc on forged wedges.

One stroke penalty and you must play the ball as it lies.
