How to Repair Divots
Instructions

Repairing divots is an important duty of golfers who create them. According to the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, a repaired divot can speed up the healing process (meaning: the grass will cover over the scar in the fairway) by a couple weeks, as opposed to an unrepaired divot.
When the turf is back in the ground, tamp down with your foot, and you're done.

Repairing divots is not always a necessity; with certain types of turfgrasses, at certain times of the year, repairing the divot won't make any difference, good or bad, to the health of the golf course. But unless you are certain that's the case where you play, and when you're playing, you should always repair your divots on the golf course.


As a reminder:
Remember to:

Repair Ball Marks

Rake Footprints in bunkers

Replace or Fill Divots

Respect Your Fellow Golfer
