Underground rake storage apparatus and method

摘要

A rake storage device for storing a rake adjacent a sand trap of a golf course, and for selectively elevating the rake for use, includes an elongated container disposed underground in a substantially vertical orientation. The rake is removably received within the container. The device includes lifting means for elevating the rake out of the container and above the surface. The lifting means can include a rake receiver and a counter-weight operatively coupled together and movably disposed in the elongated container.
