Sorry to contribute to the "humbug", but that is absolutely, positively, unequivocally WRONG. I've sat on my lanai and witnessed it year after year. If you are playing, all you see is your group and the group ahead, I can watch a dozen or more go by. Here's a taste of what happens, from my previous post.
I live on a champ course, and carnage is far too gentle a word to describe what happens. Carts driven on greens and through bunkers, 4 or 5 deep divots, unfilled, just from "practice" swings, deep ruts from driving right through the wet areas that are clearly marked, clubs thrown further than the ball was hit, 17 zillion F bombs, 8 year old children driving a cart, and the list goes on. I would suggest you use the word "apocalyptic" instead
I hope it's not too cold for you and you get a chance to play, and it sounds like your group does the right thing and take care of the course, but that is not the general rule.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
