Hey Bulldog...
Given how dry it has been here of over our summer, there were some cracks in some of the fairways you could break an ankle in if you weren't watching your step, and now that we've had some rain and the grass has started to grow back, I presume the grass has grown over some of these cracks to give an impression they're no longer there....
That's my best guess anyways.
And no, we didn't locate the missing ball. It could well be half way to China...
