Go ahead and improve your lie, maybe your next shot will go 100 yards instead of 20 from a bad lie, that moves the game along. Take it out of the sand trap if you don't like being in the sand. I don't care if you don't count wiffs or even tee it up in the fairway. Enjoy your game, ignore the rule police, respect the course. And if I'm playing with you and you can't fix your ball mark, ask me and I'll do it for you. And I do like a fun round at putt putt.

If they can bend over to put a tee in the ground, then they can bend over to fix a divot. Call me a purist if you want; I was always taught to leave EVERYTHING as I found it.
