Now I realize if you just skulled a sand shot over the green your mind might not be on etiquette, so if you forget once in a while, as we all do, just make up for it by doing all the more on the next hole to make conditions better for the next player.

My regular foursome repairs ball marks while waiting for their turn to putt. Sometimes we fix three apiece on each green. We fill every divot in sight if we are waiting on the tee for the group ahead of us. We pick up wrappers and trash and deposit them in the next waste basket we see. If you will do this, the course will be in better condition for you the next time around.

I picked up trash while playing one of the Havana courses on our LSP last month.

If everyone does just a little it adds up to a lot and makes the golfing experience better for all.

Basically - leave the place a little bit better than you found it.
