So true. It was emphasized to me when I started this game to always leave the course in better shape than you found it. To me, this means repairing more than just my ball mark and using the sand bottle to fill in my divot and any nearby that have not been filled, both on the fairway and on the tees. When filling divots, be sure to fill in only to the level of the soil, not the grass. Otherwise we will get fairways and tees with a lot of little bumps. I've seen mounds of sand in divot holes. I always smooth them out with my foot so we don't get tees that look like they've got acne.
