Seriously though I have noticed the same thing. I play winter rules and move my ball to a section of good turf if it is within a few inches. No shame in that.
The shame or rules don't make a difference to me.

I would roll it over too if it was a bare spot. You do that a lot in South Jersey on a public course. Down here, It's not a bare spot. It's grass laying down or cut down close to the ground all over. It's green and it looks good but hitting out of the rough or sand is easier.

Since it can be fluffy at a different course less than a half mile away that gets just as much play, I come to the conclusion that one greenskeeper knows how to do it and the other one doesn't, no harm, no foul.

I also thought the executive course were kept up by the same team. Was I wrong?
