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.

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

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?

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.
And The Good Golf School should definitely be required for some and I've even suggested so.

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.

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.
