| Question: | "Our practice tee is practically unplayable by midsummer due to the excessive number and slow recovery of divots. I know the tee is too small for the amount of play it receives, but is there any way to improve the condition of this popular area of the course?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Even the best tips about divot recovery will have relatively little effect on improving the condition of a small, heavily used tee. You can try to passively reduce the amount of practice by providing range balls in small bags instead of providing an unlimited amount of balls at each practice station. Unlimited balls at the station definitely will encourage more practice and produce more divots. Installing a strip of concrete or asphalt to support a set of high-quality artificial turf mats can be a very good investment as well. Practice from outside events can be restricted to the mats, and members can be limited to the mats for a day or two each week to reduce the amount of wear on the natural portion of the tee." |
