Abstract
A sand trap rake and storage apparatus, wherein a tubular storage compartment is sized to receive the sand trap rake therein. The tubular storage compartment is buried in the ground near a sand trap, so that the open top of the storage unit is above ground. A cover secures the sand trap rake in the tubular storage compartment. A compression spring pushes the rake above the top portion of the tubular storage unit for ease of access. The sand trap rake includes a head pivotally attached to the handle. A hand knob tightens the head against the handle in a first operating position perpendicular to the handle, and the hand knob is loosened to position the head in a second storage position parallel to the handle.
