It's tempting to hit practice shots out on the golf course, but extra wear and tear is the last thing most courses need right now. Please practice only in designated areas 👇

The third point hits hard. Here is a response from someone who worked Bethpage that week:

Dealing with fallen leaves is a focus for many courses right now. While golfers are worried about losing balls, superintendents are looking to avoid agronomic issues 👇

Change starts with a conversation. At @LlanerchCC , superintendent @BrendanJByrne01 approached his membership about the challenges facing our industry and the club stepped up to be a part of the solution.

If you see someone from the maintenance staff hand watering the green you're playing to, try to be patient and understand that they're working hard to help the greens get through tough summer weather 👇

A quick transition from a cool and rainy spring to hot summer weather means many courses in the Northeast have weaker turf than they’d like. Exercising caution now will help courses stay in good shape through the months ahead 👇

It’s fun watching the best golfers in the world compete on courses in peak condition, but it’s important to recognize that championship conditions are not practical to maintain for daily play 👇

Replying to @LouStagner
It’s so disrespectful to everyone playing behind you to not rake the bunkers properly (or not repair pitch marks) Since Covid this has become a huge problem even at the nicest of clubs.
