The difference? It has to be those those manage and maintain the courses.

An obvious difference in condition of the courses.

Add to that the growing numbers of players who do not fix ball marks, fill divots or rake bunkers.

TV newspaper needs to do a special on the players responsibilities when playing golf. The incidents of ball marks on the greens is staggering. Must be the same inconsiderate folks that do not rake the bunkers. And never fill a divot.

If the newspaper can run an article about dog owners doing the right thing....they can certainly run a special appeal to the far too many golfers who do not do the right thing(s).
I would say today on El Diablo I fixed no less than 3 ball Mark's on all the greens. Unbelievable how many of our fellow residents don't care for our courses and apparently thankless to have them.
