DIVOT REPAIR INFORMATION

DIVOTS ARE PART OF THE GAME OF GOLF. IN FACT, MANY WOULD SAY THAT IN ORDER TO HIT A GOOD SHOT, A DIVOT IS A MUST. IT’S WHAT IS DONE AFTER THE DIVOT THAT MATTERS MOST. AT IDLE HOUR, OUR GOLF CARTS ARE EQUIPPED WITH SAND BOTTLES FILLED WITH GREEN SAND FOR THE GOLFER’S CONVENIENCE TO USE IF NEEDED. SAND IS ONLY NEEDED IF, AND ONLY IF, THE DIVOT EXPLODES OR HAS NO SOIL LEFT ON IT. COOL SEASON GRASSES (BENT, RYE, BLUE) WILL GROW BACK IF THE DIVOT IS PROPERLY REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. SAND MUST BE USED IF THE DIVOT ISN’T REPLACEABLE OR LESS THAN THE FULL DIVOT REMAINS IN WHICH CASE, THE SAND CAN BE USED AS A SUPPLEMENT.

REMEMBER, THE CONDITION OF A GOLF COURSE ISN’T SOLELY DEPENDENT ON THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HIS STAFF. IT’S THE PLAYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAVE THE GOLF COURSE IN BETTER SHAPE AFTER PLAYING BY FIXING DIVOTS, REPAIRING BALL MARKS AND LIMITING PRACTICE SWINGS FROM THE TEEING GROUND. IDLE HOUR IS A BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSE. LET’S ALL TAKE PRIDE AND DO OUR PART TO MAKE IT BETTER.
