A huge amount of money is invested in revamping golf courses. Also, reshaping the greens is quite a hassle, as people keep ruining them again and again.

Then she places the ball on that clawed-out patch of greens and hits the ball. The video also carried a question for the fans. It said, “Is this acceptable?”
