Yes you did. It was taken at West Swinney which happens to be a course were people are allowed to sign the tee post.

Wow imagine that.

Its what locals around here do.
Ever heard of the term "Different Strokes for different folks" or "To each his own"

If you truly want to fix this problem then goTEFLON coat everything at your course.
The rain will wash any and all sharpie away.

We don't have that problem in the first place. People signing baskets.

If it is what the locals do, then fine do it, conform.

I think the point here, is that signing the baskets for aces, birdies and pars or whatever sends a signal to other players/park goers that it is fine to mark up the baskets as well as anything else which results in more and more tags. That is the association.

so the association is between people who tag and other people who tag down the road...not between ace-signers and litter/damage-causers.

I think that is the association others are alluding to in their posts.

Not saying it happens with everybody, but the seed is there. When someone sees a basket or entire course all marked up then, maybe they think the course looks trashy. So, why should a person throw away an empty can in the trash when the course looks like trash in the first place?

Sure it is a local tradition, but do ALL locals know of the tradition? Is there some elementary school program that burns this local tradition in their brains before they are old enough to strat slinging discs?

There's a reason why, when you go into a "Public" museum owned by the people (state) that you do not find graffiti on the sculptures, paintings and the like. Those objects are there for everyone to enjoy. If you enjoy writing on baskets then do it, but for "Every action there is a reaction."

Not trying to make waves, trying to explain from a different point of view and from an area where we have little to no graffiti problems on the DG courses.

Are you quoting Newton?
If so, you mean "...there is an equal and opposite reaction"
That would be, if you enjoy writing on baskets, don't do it. They're there for everyone to enjoy. Get your own and deface all you want.
