you are correct about playing on frost but wrong about playing on frozen ground. I have been a Superintendent for over 20 years and have seen the damage first hand.

How does playing on frozen ground damage the course? I'm not doubting you, just asking because I don't know.

couple of ways. when it does thaw a bit on top it will cause root shearing. when its frozen you are mashing the crown of the plant into rock hard soil. think of the crown as a grape and the soil is a hardwood floor. step on the grape and see what happens. same thing happens to the crown.

      That is a bit hyperbolic, I think. Most despicable is a bit much.  Again, a bit over the top here.  Most athletes are probably closer to being normal human beings than degenerates and avaricious scum.  Just sounds like you want to generalize all athletes because it is easy to do so. Hey, generalizing a subset of a population is entirely a human thing to do.

      This is so awesome; my two biggest lifetime hero and the biggest superstars of the past 35 years in golf……both turned out to be the two of the most despicable human beings in professional sports… Between this and everyone whoring themselves out for Saudi Arabia… Used to love golf because I thought they were smarter, better people than the other sports. Turns out a huge percentage of them are total degenerates and avaricious scum like every other sport!

      This isn't going to show you lateral dispersion at all. It's basically just a radar (for speed) launch monitor. It doesn't measure spin or anything like that. Not even launch direction.
