There should be a prominate sign at every starters shack the reads ‘It is required that you repair ball marks and divots’

I believe so. I’m full time and do not see this in summer.

The pro on that course deputized me :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I agree 100%, but I would make the sign PROMINENT

That's ridiculous.

I play 100+ rounds/year in The Villages and if anything, it's the exact opposite. The folks who live here all year around, think the courses are theirs or they hold some sort of exalted status, as a full-time resident and are above raking bunkers or fixing divots.

Ask anyone who's ever belonged to a Private Club. Visitors/guests are always the 1st to fix a divot or rake a bunker ... it's always the Members who feel entitled and don't bother.

The tee boxes are getting eaten up. The ambassadors should be monitoring that and sanding those divots.
I see the ambassadors sanding tee box divots all the time.

Ball marks
 
People complain about the courses but not many rake the traps and ball marks on greens at Bogart and Heron were plentiful. People we can do better

I don't play Executive Golf courses, but from all I hear, the best thing that could happen in the Executive golf world in TV, is to convert all the Bunkers to "waste areas" and get rid of all the rakes. Problem solved.

I'd say "harden" the Greens too, but that's not conducive to growing grass.
