Divots, sand buckets and the use of them has been a recurrent theme in the Woodlands Word over the last 12 months. With the growth in the club’s membership and increase in green fee players on the course the use or lack of sand buckets and repairing divots has been noticeable. This was highlighted to me when playing on Wednesday, when I watched 4 groups of young new members ignore the signage in respect to carrying buckets and continue onto the course. As members we should challenge those players/ members who are not carrying and using buckets on the course. It is a problem that all courses face and with the growth of players new to golf I wonder whether it is ignorance or lack of understanding in respect to use of buckets and repairing divots.
