On a side note, one poster here said something about aerated greens and people not fixing divots. After aeration, fixing a divot will do more damage to a green. Try it sometime and you will see.
I have to challenge you on 'doing more damage'. Leveling out the hole edges for better mowing and maintenance can't hurt. Also - If they can put a tee in the ground, they can fix a ball mark.
