And when it comes to course care? Ben gets it.
“Fixing the course is important because so much effort goes into keeping it in great condition. Your part is just filling a small area with sand so the grass can grow back.”
Why does he use the Gopher Caddy?
“Because I know for certain I’ll always have sand with me… and it looks cool 😂”
Future fairway star 🤝 Respecting the course.
