Abstract/Contents:"While a great deal of research has attempted to quantify divot recovery of various species and cultivars, very little research has attempted to quantify divot injury. The objective of this study was to quantify the divot size and type in a bermudagrass fairway as influenced by golf club selection. Divot severity and volume varied by club with lofted wedges creating the largest divots. Severity and volume varied by golfer, but there were no correlations between these measurements and golfer ability (handicap). Based on this average size of a divot, it is estimated that 0.5 acres of bermudagrass are removed from divots on fairways on a golf course receiving 32,000 rounds of golf per year."
