Just for starters.
If you don't do these things the rest of us will know you are a rookie or far worse, a disrespectable golfer.  |
TOTALLY AGREE! I have been golfing for 45+ years. I have played in many tournaments, outings, golf teams, casual... Played the best and worst course. These greens are awful in my opinion. I played yesterday on the new course and was amazed how bad the marks looked for a course two months old.
It is not hard at all to repair your mark. Yes some have a hard time bending over, but they seem to manage putting their ball on the tee. Regarding time, in most cases their is plenty of time to repair your mark while others are getting ready or after. While you are , it is also not hard if there is a mark by yours or in your line to repair that. Count the time.. Maybe 5 seconds per mark? I am just curious on the reasons people say they won't. I heard the one about they pay huge amounts of money to play so it is not their job. Do people playing the country clubs, Augusta, etc say they paid so they don't need too? Even the caddies do not and should or repair your ballmarks. It is your job.
For those that watch the pros and try to imitate their swing, patterns, etc, do the same with how they repair their ball marks.
