That looks like the track of the four-legged gas powered garden variety ATV, found worldwide, sadly. 


..or a Duro HF236 commercial turf tire.

I think Anthony needs to cut down on his number of practice swings...

I think they look like the imprint of a wedge slammed into the ground of the new groove variety... Has Tiger been seen anywhere nearby?

  Exactly Bill. I was playing with 3 scitish golfers,when we walked by those divots one of them said.."Americans". Two were former caddies. Do we take more practice swings?

Anthony, are you  sure you didn't just overhear the other three guys talking about you? ;)

Did they have a scramble on the course?

  Jim,

  Excellent observation. There were no other divots within 10 feet of those. I had the same thought. My home private club holds tournaments on mondays at times and you see the same thing.

I would venture that the jealous scots are envious of Americans who take the time to fill divots!  What cheek, to comment like that.

I do not believe it is anything really sinister like a cart but one-step down, perhaps it’s a quod bike for the grounds men with treads like that.

Could even be your push/pull trolley. Maybe Aliens from Mars or do I agree with you an American Cart Baller come to learn how to play walking golf, who knows, but did you enjoy the rest of the course being a more interesting question

I would have taken the comment as referring to the execrable modern practice of leaving cluster divots in every fairway. If playing in Scotland, I'd venture that it's a pretty fair guess to attribute it to visit Americans.

On the next hole Baaaabara, longtime friend  ;) of the former wisecracking caddie, was rather miffed that he woudn't even give her a nod in public......



.....this so upset the poor deer darling that she decided to end it all........

 

....a sad tale, but some compassion was shown for our caddie and he was given a remembrance of her after the burial.
