How long does it take to fix a normal ball mark? Ten seconds?
One of the many metrics used to assess our performance includes a periodic assessment of the golf course features using an objective seven point scale. Unfortunately, most of this season's greens ratings have had deductions due to excessive ballparks.
The maintenance team can provide superb playing conditions day in and day out, but we need your help. Ball marks detract from the quality of the putting surface for every player that plays the course. We counted more than 140 ball marks that were either not fixed or fixed improperly on one Saturday morning in May. (See the photo below.)

Wherever you play, please do your part and follow this simple golfer etiquette protocol. Don't be afraid to use a little peer pressure. It will make the putting surface healthier and more enjoyable for you! Here is a link from the USGA how on to repair ball marks: USGA Ball Mark Repair.
Thank you for your help and your support!
