Golf Course Damage

5 Tee

In the last two weeks there have been a number of incidences of damage to the golf course. The first issue we experienced was a golfer using the course and the fairways as a practice facility. There were a number of divots taken from the same place much like the driving range tee. This also occurred on a few of the par 3 tee boxes. This picture shows an example of the damage that has been filled with the divot mix by the tee maintenance crew.

14 Green

Also, last week there was a divot taken from the edge of 14 green. This picture shows the divot on the margin between the green and the collar. This divot was repaired with a cup cutter plug from the nursery.



19 Green



This morning, these two divots were discovered in the middle of 19 green. One divot has been replaced and the second has been left open. This damage was repaired with a hexagonal patch from the nursery.

Playing surfaces with damage like this become unplayable for golfers that follow after it occurs. It is important to remember that an accidental divot or chunk can be repaired quickly if brought to the attention of the golf shop. Damage that occurs through carelessness or recklessness should not be tolerated. Please follow proper golf course etiquette and ensure any guests do the same.
