Came across this over the weekend and it is a double dose of things that irritate me on the course. First the course aerated their greens on Wednesday and Thursday and didn't bother to tell me when I made the tee time. We get there and while they apologized for not telling us - they were still charging full price for their round. They supposedly top dressed the greens after punching them, but you couldn't putt on the greens. The ball bounced so much, none of us made a putt over 2 feet. Still it was a gorgeous day in October and I was playing golf - so I really had no right to complain and I didn't.
But what really bothered me was the ballmarks on the green. Apparently people interpreted the aerating the greens as an excuse not to repair their ballmarks. With the ground being a little softer now, there were some serious ballmarks on the greens that you couldn't miss. I get that people might not like the fact that the course decided to aerate, but that doesn't mean you don't show the course or the golfers behind you the proper respect it/they deserve.
