Apparently when Ambassadors quit giving out the "atta boy" discount cards, the etiquette got worse. Not only that but Ambassadors used to refill your sand bottles for you. Now they just sit there and say "help yourself" and use Covid as an excuse. They could wear gloves and safely handle the scoop but, I guess laziness is a spreading disease among us all.
We also use several bottles of sand per round (used 4 bottles the day after Christmas on Havana, fixed 77 ball marks that day also), but even before Covid we quit letting the Ambassadors fill the bottles after one broke the spout on the one on my wife's cart and didn't say anything about it.
