| Abstract/Contents: | "The term divot refers to a patch of turfgrass that is removed when a golf swing is made. Depending on time of year, divot recovery can take several weeks. Unrepaired, those sunken bare-areas are unsightly and each divot has the potential to negatively affect playability given the USGA's "Ball played as it lies." rule. Historically, sand-alone is used to fill divots. Newer "divot mixes" are now being used, but comparative data is often lacking. In 2022-23, a small-plot field study was conducted on a 'Piranha' creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) tee at the Bob Berry Sunshine Course in Lemont, Illinois. The objectives were: 1) Evaluate various divot mixes with and without seed for speedy turfgrass recovery, and 2) to better understand the influence of season (spring, summer, and fall) has on divot repair. The experimental design was a RCBD with 10 treatments (divot mixes) and 4 replications. Three individual studies were conducted in each of three seasons. At the start of each, divots were created artificially with a modified cup cutter. Weekly, data was collected to monitor multiple aspects of turfgrass recovery. Compared to sand-alone, newer divot mixes provided faster recovery in a creeping bentgrass tee. The addition of seed had the greatest effect in speeding recovery. Media choice (sand, compost or 8-1-1 mix) was influenced, at times, by season. For example, the 8-1-1 mix plus seed mixture did not perform well in summer. Given treatments containing seed ('Piranha' creeping bentgrass + 'Leeward' chewings fescue), compost was most consistent across all three seasons to 50% recovery in 2-4 weeks, versus sand in 3-9 weeks, versus 8-1-1 mix in 4-7 weeks." |
