I understand that, but the logic I'm referring to is simply if you consider a divot to be part of the game, then all course conditions should be considered the same, unless a temporary local rule is in place during the period of aeration. No?
A temporary local rule is in play for lift, clean, and place the week after aeration. It only comes into play for me about one round per year because I generally don’t play that week after aeration. I played once last weeke a couple days after aeration and rolled it or did the lift clean and place about 7-8 times. The aeration holes were not a real problem but the 7 inches of rain we’ve had(6th wettest September on record so far) made for a few partially imbedded tee shots and mud on the ball on 75% of the shots not landing on the green. I think I had 4 tee shots stick in their own pitch mark and one was barely visible.
