Over the past week we have been utilizing a new paint for the hole on greens. This new paint was not selected by choice. Unfortunately the manufacturer of the paint that we were using stopped with production early this season. The paint that we are currently left to use takes significantly longer to dry. It also takes a heavier application with the new paint to get a nice white appearance which adds to the dry time. Dependent on weather which can either accelerate or slow the dry time of the paint, the golfers playing early in the day may experience some wet paint transfer to their hands while retrieving the ball from the hole. Please take extra caution while removing the ball from the hole to prevent your hand from touching the lip and preventing this paint transfer. The paint is a water based product that will wash off if it does happen to transfer. We will look into other paint options for next season to try and improve this important daily detail.
