| Question: | "I am the golf professional at a private club, and I'm looking to purchase ball mark repair tools to hand out to the membership to help maintain our greens. Which tool is the best at repairing with little damage while still being cost effective to the club? Do you have any suggestions or advice on the proper tool?" |

| Answer/Response: | "The USGA does not evaluate or recommend brands of ball mark repair tools. Almost all of them can be used effectively if golfers are shown how to use them correctly. There are several different types of ball marks, depending on the grass type, rootzone mix, soil moisture content, ball trajectory, and spin rate as it hits the green, etc. The best thing you can do is to show your golfers how to repair the various types of ball marks with whichever tool you decide to go with. Generally speaking, expensive ball mark repair tools aren't any better than inexpensive tools." |
