I think it extends further than that. IMO the kind of "golfer" who would neglect things like that, i.e. not respecting basic etiquette such as repairing ball marks, filling divots, etc. is the same kind of PERSON who thinks nothing of chucking a styrofoam cup out his car window, or passing a golf cart with his when a walker is in his lane and then barely swerving in on time so that the walker is not injured, or tossing one or more of those little fireball whiskey containers out of his cart so that he doesn't have to explain something uncomfortable to his wife once he gets home.
Believe it or not, I also saw a guy empty an ASHTRAY in his cart onto the MMP by Savannah Center. I rounded the turn behind him just as he finished scattering cigarette butts all over the path. He took off in a hurry. Maybe he at least had the grace to feel ashamed, but I doubt it.
If you're a courteous person on the golf course odds are that you are a courteous person in other aspects of your life as well. Unfortunately the opposite is probably also true.
