Hi, this is Rich Carr from Meadia Heights Gold Club in Lancaster, PA on behalf of Expert
Village. I’m going to talk about replacing divots on the golf course today. As you can
see I’ve hit a drive, right here into the fairway. I’m going to select my club here,
go ahead and play my shot. There it goes, okay, you can, as you can see I’ve made
a little bit of a divot here, the grass, so in this case I’m just gonna go ahead and
pick up the divot and replace it. Now every course is a little bit different, so on the
cart there is actually some divot mix. I’m going to go ahead and grab it, since I didn’t
make a really big divot in this case,
go back over here, put my divot mix away and I’m ready to go. I also want to talk to
you about making a divot in the rough. I’m just going to hit an imaginary shot here;
made a divot in the rough. Most golf courses would prefer that you just pick up the grass
that you displaced and put it back into the divot, like so. In this case I would not use
any seed mix from the cart, because the turf difference between the fairway and the rough,
you wouldn’t want to mix in the seed you use on the fairway.
