OP, I have enough trouble keeping my score never mind counting how many ball marks I fix.

Agreed.

There's lot of clues.

I tend to think that we are not giving players enough credit for fixing ball marks. Granted I tend to play early in the morning and not many players before me have passed through the greens. The players in our group are very conscientious about fixing ball marks and will do it for each other. I am thrilled to have a ball mark as it means I've hit the green from my approach shot!

Fantastic ...now go to Mallory Caroline!

3rd hole Blue tee you have to hit it over a small sequoia -can't even see the green. We told the ambassador he said he's reported it !

Very nice response and I agree.

I know myself I fix on the average at least 3 or 4 ball marks on every green at all the holes.Guys playing from the wrong tees is typical here.My grip is the people that believe its ok to hit 2 balls of the tee box if the first hit isn`t too their liking.While our foursome is waiting on the tee.Just rude.

This is not confined to TV. At our country club, I end up repairing 3 or 4 ball marks every green. There are homes on the course, and there are the most well behaved 12-16 years olds imaginable, when they're with their parents. But frequently we encounter the par threes where someone used the hole for practice---30 or so unrepaired divots on the tee and range balls scattered all over. And this is on the best maintained course in the area. Just another me first, to h**l with you attitude.
