Opengl last glbegin object inherits the attributes of the previous object.

I'm trying to make multiple separate objects using openGL and freeGLUT.

I have a 3d cube that represents my player that I can move with user inputs.
And I have a very large 100x100 quad (of quads) representing the ground.
I also have a light and I track the position of the camera using a third, unmovable, cube.


Now, here's the issue:

The quad is obviously much larger than the tiny cube at 1f scale, so I scale this huge quad to 0.03f using the glScalef() function.

When I draw my player cube, I draw it after I have drawn the ground, and my player cube inherits the scale (becoming tiny AND appears at the origin of the ground quad, rather than the real origin.

How can I fix this? so that my player appears at the correct origin, NOT the origin of the ground, and that it DOESN'T inherit the scale of the ground?

void Scene::DrawCameraCube(float x, float y, float z)
{
	glTranslatef(x, y, z);
	glScalef(1, 1, 1);
	glRotatef(0, 1, 0, 0);
	
	glBegin(GL_QUADS);

        > <snip> drawing cube

        glEnd();
}

void Scene::DrawGround()
{
	glTranslatef(-3, -3, 0);
	glScalef(0.03, 0.03, 0.03);

	glBegin(GL_QUADS);

	> <snip> drawing quad ground. 

	glEnd();
}

What I have tried:

a bunch of stuff, changing around the variable values, switching the orders of the transforms and rotates.

No idea what else to do.
