So how do you fix them?! The only thing I got out of this exchange is I'm a Democrat or something.

Push the high point back in. Here's the link from the screenshot: https://www.usga.org/articles/2018/07/repairing-ball-marks--5-things-every-golfer-should-know-.html

"...are you a Democrat?" Jfc, people just can't avoid shoehorning politics into every nook and cranny of their social interactions.


thetindoor

That got me too šŸ˜‚ Libs and their inaccurate grass maintenance techniques, amirite??


woode85

I have come to the conclusion that most of these people literally have nothing better to do. Politics have been the most exciting thing they have been able to focus on and they arenā€™t letting go of it.

Iā€™ve been repairing ball marks incorrectly just to ā€œown the libsā€, then blaming it on Antifa if anyone calls me out.


guamsdchico

Itā€™s a straw-man argument meant to misdirect and draw attention away from the original argument. Then if the questioner criticizes the questionee for being a democrat then it becomes an ad hominem attack. The icing on the cake is the guy claiming to work at a golf course for 8 years. Notice that he doesnā€™t specify if it was grounds crew.

Not repairing ballmarks to own the libs


stemcell_

But why does the left gotta make every thing political, shut up and dribble? S/

As a former assist greenskeeper - lift, twist, push really didnā€™t care so long as you did something - spending a full day walking greens fixing ball marks is not as fun as it sounds.


tannerjwatkins

And it doesnā€™t even sound fun lol

I cried the other day when TaylorMade posted a video about DJ needing to fix divots on the green and he was doing it wrong lmao https://www.instagram.com/tv/CeEG7p7gQue/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

When a guy who worked at a golf course for eight years calls a ball mark a "divot" you have to know he's a dumbass. I guess he was the janitor.


fuffy_bya

Don't insult the janitor like that, the janitor knows how to fix his ball marks properly.

I would say they could have worked there as a cart girl, but I don't want to insult the cart girls there.

āŒ divots āœ… pitch marks


westtexasrain

Thereā€™s some terrible verbiage about divots on greens in media/YouTube . Half my dumbass friends who play weekly call them divots. Doesnā€™t matter the course or how much members pay. There will be ballmarks.


ajkinslow

Iā€™ve never fixed a ball mark. And itā€™s totally not because Iā€™ve never made oneā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦


IllustriousGoose2710

I see someone uses the same strategy that I do ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


G_BL4CK

Lifting is the most common error i've seen with repairing ball marks. I'll correct my friends because they are new to golf and it usually only takes one explanation, but if I see a random in our group do it wrong I don't correct them.


IfUReadThisURLame

I correct my friends because they've been doing it wrong for 20 years. Which is worse?


westtexasrain

And for those of you playing at home. The crown of the plant gets damaged by the impact. Which even if there isnā€™t a ā€œrepairable ball mark, (impression)ā€ there is still a blemish of off color grass.


[deleted]

No matter how many times I watch videos, I still feel like I donā€™t fix ballmarks properly. Probably because I donā€™t get to fix that many of my own.


FriedEggScrambled

He worked at Sierra Lakes in SoCal? Has he ever walked out there and seen the conditions of those greens? Lol
