The course had nearly 800 rounds of golf played over a two-day span last weekend. The picture quality isn't the best, but we counted almost 100 ball marks in a 15'x15' area on #3 Red Feather green. Please don't misunderstand me, we absolutely love the patronage (without it we don't exist), but it definitely takes a toll on the greens.
As badly as we want to keep the greens lean and fast, we also need to keep the turf growing to promote recovery, which is a tricky balance. You can help out in a couple ways. Next time you are on a green, fix your ball mark and another one that someone left behind. If you are playing with someone who doesn't understand the importance of ball mark repair, take a couple of moments to educate them.
