This time of year on our course we dig out the Top Flites, MOJO's, Molitors... anything that we won't mind being left behind. Some years ago, we had a retired County worker who ran the blower/mulcher all day long keeping fairways pretty clear of leaves. He died!! Now, they say there is nothing can be done. So... you can lose balls dead center in the fairway. But, you find balls dead center in the fairway left from the day before as leaves have moved overnight.When they roll under a pile of leaves it doesn't matter what color they are.
