We don't have such an evening, the green staff are able to keep on top of the problem but if we did i would help out, only being a member for the past couple of years it is quite a nice way to meet others.
iirc, when I played isle of purbeck they had a divot cart. Essentially a cart filled with bottles of soil / seed mix. You picked up a bottle and filled 6 / 7 divots on your jorney down the fairway and there was a bin ofr empty bottles at the next tee. Quite a right of passage as only a tee shot on the fairway 'earned the righted' to pick a bottle so a bit of banter / fun along the way made the difference. They then move the set up round the couse so everything gets done over time. Good idea I thought.
