DEAR MOLLY: Why is the hole shaggy? Can I fix it?

Are the greens within a few inches of the hole being damaged by leaving the flagstick in while putting? Are golfers allowed to tamp down the edges of the hole before putting without penalty?
Molly McMulligan’s FAB 5
April 16, 2025
D-I-S-C-O | Music manners for the course! The touchiest topic in golf these days, by far, is on-course music. Who gets to play it, and how loud?
DEAR MOLLY: why do I pay multiple membership fees?
April 2, 2025
I love everything about belonging to a golf club or league. I belong to three of the CGA’s member clubs and am even thinking about joining a fourth. But I don’t get why I have to pay CGA membership dues at every club.
DEAR MOLLY: Wine, please. How can I get it on the course?
March 5, 2025
I like to sip wine when I play golf, but the drink carts almost always carry just beer and liquor. Is it OK for me to bring my own?
DEAR MOLLY: I changed tees mid-round. Can I still post?
February 12, 2025
Playing a new course, it became clear that I had teed it up a little farther back than I should have and so I moved up a set of tees. Is there any way that I can post that round?
DEAR MOLLY: Where Are the Senior Tees For Women?
January 8, 2025
Most courses we play have four or five tee boxes. The most forward is considered the women’s tee and the second forward is considered the senior tee for men over some age, usually 60. It doesn’t seem fair...
DEAR MOLLY: How can I turn negative into positive?
December 11, 2024
Sometimes in my club I get paired with a certain member who’s a negative self-talker. None of his shots is good enough...etc. How can I block this out and be positive?
DEAR MOLLY: How can we make golf more techy for kids?
November 13, 2024
Our kids are more into video games and cell phones than golf. Is there any way we can incorporate technology on the course?
DEAR MOLLY: Am I Posting Wrong?
October 9, 2024
A friend told me that he read the max over par was 2 when trying to establish a GHIN handicap. I later learned the correct method is a max of 3 over. Can I go back in and adjust my lower scores?
DEAR MOLLY: How can I move us along?
September 11, 2024
I always point out when my group is falling behind, but no one seems to want to hear it and I find myself rushing for the whole foursome...
DEAR MOLLY: Man vs. woman – How can we play fair?
August 7, 2024
I am an 80-year-old male with a Handicap Index of 20.9. If I play against my granddaughter from the same tees and we both shot 85, I would get strokes because her rating is higher than mine - that doesn't seem fair!
Dear Molly: What time is tee-time, really?
July 10, 2024
What exactly is the expectation for a tee-time – especially now that many courses make us pay in advance?
