DO NOT stick your putter in the cup, carelessly use a suction cup or other such device, nor forcefully yank the flagstick out to get the ball to pop out. Thank you---now go do it!!!!!

The ambassadors drive around the course doing nothing in my opinion. Could they not when they see a golfer not doing their due diligence say something?
Someone needs to monitor those that commit the infraction.
It would be nice if there was a sand box on every executive and par 3 champion courses tee to allow ease of repairing divots. Or, if you generally take a divot take your sand bootle with you before you tee off.

The tee boxes are getting eaten up. The ambassadors should be monitoring that and sanding those divots.
