Why are people not repairing pitchmarks, guys?

What's going on out there?

Good question.

Why are they not repairing them?

And I'm asking this question to kind of, I'm sensationalizing it because I think there's

plenty of good reasons why people don't repair pitchmarks, which will go into.

I spoke to a greenkeeper the other day back pitchmuffs as well. I have a few theories. It's really obvious when you play with certain

levels of golfers. Yeah, I think one of the issues is there's a lot of people that play that

don't have a ton of speed. They hit the ball lower. They'll hit the ball somewhere on the green, and that ball does not stop anywhere near where the pitchmark is.

The ball goes 10, 20, 30 yards past where the pitchmark is, and they're just going to their ball,

and they're not going back and looking for the pitchmark because it's nowhere near where the ball ended up and I think that's a hundred percent that would be the main reason that

I see from everyday golfers and there's a few kind of elements to what Lou is saying there as well so

let's say you're 180 yards away you hit a great shot that does pitch the green, but for 180 yards, subject to the

makeup of the hole, you might not know that's pitched the green because it'll be hard to see if

that's actually pitched the green or not. And you never really pitch it on that green because you've

hit your best shot. And like he says, it's coming in lower of 180 if you're not a fast speed player.

And that pitch mark is now 40 yards away in some cases from where your ball is.

Your concern is to play that shot, bearing in mind the whole world.

And this is where I think it gets really interesting and where golfers are a bit one-dimensional

with this idea.

And it's a bit, you know, people just don't repair pitchmarks like there's evil people out there these people

are also panicked possibly because they're not quick enough they're slow speed golfers they're taking
