Repairing Divots |
Unless you're lucky enough to be playing with a caddie, you should also make sure you fix your divots (the little plot of turf that is sometimes lifted away when you hit your shot).
- In most cases, fixing a divot simply means walking ahead a few yards to retrieve it, replacing it in its original location and gently tamping it down with your foot.
- In some locations, golf courses will ask that divot holes be filled with sand or a sand/seed mix that will promote the fast grow-in of new grass.
- But in other areas, courses will request that you don't fix divots at all because of the specialized characteristics of the turfgrass.
