Executive tee boxes horrible
 

Why are so many tee boxes not level and uncut? Get a hand mower out there. It’s ridiculous

Many have been over seeded recently. So they let them grow in for awhile to get established and thicken. This is done every year.

Thanks but people are taking huge divots out of them already. Can’t believe they need to be that thick. Going to be ripped up soon anyway

How many on which exec courses?

Played Truman today. Tee boxes were in fantastic shape!

Tee up why call them tee boxes:1rotfl:

Our snowbird friends don't like to tee it up. They like hitting raw iron shots

Your first winter here? Like this every year.

Hi Karen it's good to see you again and again and again.

It’s called over-seeding.

Anything else troubling you today? #realworldproblems

And not repairing divots!!

Maybe a solution would be to contact the golfing people to ask that question. In the meantime, if someone doesn't replace divits you could be a Good Samaritan and do it.
Complaining on a social media site will get you no-where.

To answer your question - I don’t know!

The snowbird boogeymen strike again. Funny, I never see anybody bring their sand bottle over to the tee box to fill in the craters. Same goes for the ball marks on the greens, every time I'm on a green I find myself repairing several marks.

The good golf school should be a requirement before anyone is allowed to make their first tee time.

I agree that all golfers should have to attend the good golf school before being allowed to make a tee time. This especially applies to the “Snow-billies” that make their way here earlier every year.

I wasn't calling out the 'snowbillies', I'm calling out everybody whether they're frogs or not. It's very easy to become complacent. Mostly everybody that lives here loves it, so take care of it and don't expect somebody else to do it. And if you can't make the 15-20 foot walk back to the cart to get the sand bottle or bend over to fix a ball mark, give up the game.

Wife and I were 'snowbillies' for over twenty years, and the most entitled golfers we played alongside were permanent residents, however, the other 99% were all great company.

"Snowbillies" now that is funny! Being my first name is William, and I am from Colorado, I now have a brand new nick-name! We own two houses and come when we can, and rent them to fellow snowbillies during high season, so I suppose we are part of the problem.

I once had a famous golf pro (who shall remain nameless) tell me, "Golf gives you few advantages as an amateur, a tee is one of them, use it."

Please do not replace divots. Use your sand bottle and fill the hole. Once the divot is pulled up , it's dead.

Palmetto looked great Yesterday

VERY strongly agree with this !!!! A lot of these golfers are first time and have zero clue of golf etiquette !!!

I played Gray Fox yesterday and they looked great! I think I was more upset about all the ball marks that weren't fixed on the greens...

You think you have a problem. I am William Williamson.
Why would parents do that to a new born child?
Two Bills!

When they overseed the tee boxes they ask you NOT fill your divot with sand as you normally would .

The staff does it with a sand/seed mix …..

My experience regarding “condition” of the tee boxes varies from that of the OP .

For the most part , I have found them to be in fair to good condition, specially the execs south of 44

Was following a group one day and one of the golfers, a young man, was taking a tour player divot on every tee box and not filling with sand. After about 6 holes I asked him why he wasn't filling in the divots and his response was, I don't carry a sand bottle. :ohdear::ohdear:
And The Good Golf School should definitely be required for some and I've even suggested so.

:bigbow::bigbow:

There are NO SEEDS in the sand the ambassadors use to repair divots. They fill their sand buckets/boxes on the ambassador carts from the same sand boxes the golfers get theirs.
:bigbow::bigbow:

& your support of this outlandish statement??

Very simple solution. Don't play and that makes more tee times available to those of us that don't complain

Played Pimlico and Silver Lake recently....Perfect tee boxes.

You do not replace divots here...
 

you just put sand in the divot. The ambassador fills most of them, but you are supposed to fill your own. Some folks forget....some folks could care less.

As to grass on the tees....it looks nicer and doesn't erode when it rains...it's also for those that don't want to use tees(and Jack Nicklaus says given the choice he'd always use a tee as it's easier to control the shot).
