| Abstract/Contents: | Desribes proper etiquette of divot repair, stating that "a divot that is large enough to be replaced should be replaced, unless the scar can be filled immediately using divot mix. The lie of the ball may not be perfect, but divot repair will prevent a ball from finding the scar from a large divot. The maintenance crew may eventually removed the divot if additional repair is necessary, but during a round of golf, large divots should be replaced." Focuses on divot repair of both cool-season and warm season grasses, and proper divot mixes. Concludes that "the debate among golfers over divot repair will always be with us because of the confusion about grass types, weather factors, and labor resources. Agronomy is not always compatible with playability regarding the repair of divot scars. All golf courses should implement a plan to address fairway divot repair based upon their individual needs and resources. When divot scars are neglected, weeds can encroach, unfortunate golfers can face difficult shots, and the general appearance of the course can suffer." |
