DIVOT MANIA
Sunday August 23, 2009 1:55pm

OK, my BIGGEST pet-peeve on the golf course is players not repairing their divots on the green or by filling them on the tee boxes or in the fairways.  I firmly believe in the "fix yours + one other" rule but this is getting RIDICULOUS!!!!!!  I have been repairing mine + a minimum or three to four more on EVERY green, especially the par 3s.  I won't play several courses due to the amount of divots left by other golfers and the maintenance crews/marshalls/starters doing nothing to turn this problem around.  Several of the people I play with are guilty of this and I call them on it but it seems not to sink in or they just don't care (and I don't consider them golfers just people that play golf )and will not play with them if I can help it, but it seems this problem is becoming more and more wide spread.  Here's a hint, the greens, fairways adn tee boxes recover faster when diots are fixed or filled, ensuring the course stays in good condition and the green fees don't go up due to extra maintenance guys having to be hired to fix what other golfers don't want to.  Hoy crap!  How about if I dig up 6 inches of your front lawn and leave it sprayed across your driveway for the yard guy to fix, better yet, how about 100 people do that every week?  200?  500?  How many people will complain of the littlest thing being out of place but won't fill/fix a divot?

Bottom line:  Remember we are not the only ones out there.  Others will follow us and they would aprreciate the same conditions we found.  FIX/FILL YOUR DIVOTS!!!!
