This blog is one man's campaign to raise the consciousness of fellow golfers everywhere by educating, cajoling and encouraging them to repair their ball marks, and leave the putting surface as pristine as possible for other golfers.
Along the way, we'll discuss golf in general, developments in golf and join the ranks of passionate golfers everywhere that care about golf.
My goal is to increase the number of Greenskeepers* in the world.
*Greenskeeper is an archaic term, one that has been replaced in the professional vernacular with "Golf Course Superintendant".
In OUR world, Greenskeepers are (totally cool) golfers who repair their ball marks, plus one (or more) from the unthinking clod who left one (or more) behind, basically because "Claude" was too lazy, selfish, self-absorbed or too cool (or any combination thereof) to take the time to repair their damage to the putting surface.
NoBallMarks101
Use a pronged ball mark repair tool (preferably) or tee.
NoBallMarks 102
Insert at the edges of the mark-not the middle of the depression.
NoBallMarks103
Bring the edges together with a gentle twisting motion, but don't lift the center. Try not to tear the grass.
NoBallMarks 104
Smooth the surface with a club or foot. You're done when it's a surface that you would putt over. Learn it, Live it, LOVE it...
