In my foursome, each of us repaired 3 or 4 ball marks on every green, in addition to our own. Unraked bunkers loaded with footprints. And, you can't blame this abuse on the snowbirds...they're gone. At this rate, it won't take long for Pimlico to become just another ho-hum executive course.
Agreed. Played there yesterday, Sun. The maintenance crew did the absolute minimum when mowing the greens. No clean up pass along the edge of the greens, every green had the saw tooth pattern along the collars. But overall, the course was in very good shape. I actually had a twosome who was following our four yell at me from the tee box as I was raking a bunker!?! I guess they were late for a dinner reservation.
