I agree. If balls are consistently plugging there is a problem, and its no good for the course because it will contribute to slow play. What really bugs me is when they churn the sand all the way up the sides of the bunkers, so the balls plug, but in the bottom of the bunkers there is very little sand at all, and you can't do an explosion shot because you'd hit hardpan.
