Just to be fair…. Fixing ball marks on greens is a much bigger problem than just in The Villages. I recently played a wonderful golf course up north (with my son) and found ball marks galore on the greens that soon will host a Korn/Ferry PGA tour event. There were signs in the locker room to please fix ball marks, divots and rake traps. Free ball mark tools were for your taking. It’s a shame so many golfers practice poor golfing etiquette. Sign of the times I guess.

Respect the courses please.
I’m new to golfing and TV. I know about raking bunkers and fixing divots but never heard of ball marks on the green. I wouldn’t know to fix anyway.

Where do I learn? I saw post about “Good Golf” class, which I will take, but I didn’t know it existed.

What is RA/CAP?

The starting shack didn’t mention any of this when I played my first round - do they know it was my first round?

I do follow posted signage but have yet to see a sign about ball marks on the green. (Thanks for fixing my marks!)

After hours play on the executive courses is already trespassing. I propose two changes. 1) everyone in the tee time reservation gets points added, add the peer pressure element. 2) anyone caught trespassing after hours on the exec courses has there golf privileges either suspended for 30 days or has their amenities fee doubled the next month. For country club courses, they are charged the AM rate.
No appeals allowed.

If you’re talking Mangrove, and you played in the morning, there’s a guy who goes out on Mangrove after the started leaves, and hits 15 or 20 balls onto every green, and doesn’t fix ANY ball marks .
I’ve been behind him a few times.
Said something to him once, but he ignored me.
I saw that! What a jerk.

Use your imagination. Anything with ( @*#% ) symbols is a cuss word... Da@& it

Back home we used to golf at course where we followed all of the High School tournaments, talk about never fixing ball marks, you'd think the coaches or instructors never taught them about it. It was nothing to fix at least 10 of them, just on the line of a putt you were trying.

I know I should have hit it closer to the hole but it was the best I could do....

Some of the players are so OBESE that they can't bend over to fix them.
