MY GOLF BLUEPRINT
Divot care: follow the course’s method
Etiquette and practical course care. Follow local guidance.
Courses differ in whether they want a divot replaced, a repair mix used or another method followed. Local grass and maintenance practices determine the right approach.
Practical steps
- Read the course notice or ask staff.
- Replace a suitable divot only where instructed.
- Use the supplied mix as directed.
- Leave the surface reasonably level without creating a mound.
Example
A course may provide sand or a seed mix on carts and tees. Use that material according to its instructions rather than assuming every course is the same.
Avoid this
Do not fill a divot with an unrelated material or scrape turf to improve the lie of a ball you still need to play.
