We need your help! Unfortunately, even with few outside golf events lately, we continue to see a large number of unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Fixing your ball mark should be a habit. To this end, here are a few suggestions:
--Go to your ball mark first when walking onto the green, then go to your ball.
--Repair your ball mark and one other on each and every green.
--Make sure those you play with repair their ball marks on each and every green.
Additional information on ball mark repair from the USGA can be found here: Ball Mark Repair Quiz

In addition to unrepaired ball marks, as more players opt to wear shorts from early spring to late fall, we are seeing another turf problem:

However, some of today's aerosol, spray-on sun screen products also use alcohol or butane as propellants, and can do the same damage to the grass. Please try to apply these products when standing on a cart path.
Your help with these issues will be appreciated by all!
