Etiquette for Replacing Divots on Golf Course

Video Transcript

" Hi, I am Kinsey Snyder on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to talk about repairing divots and replacing divots. The golfer here to my left is about to hit his approach shot into the green. Now I am going to replace this divot, I am going to run out here and get it real quick. Okay in this instance I am going to replace the divot, I retrieved it, I am going to put it in here and almost always you can tell which side was hit first, this side was hit first, so I try and replace it, in the same way you would, put it in there, make sure you take your feet, kick it down a little bit, like that, you good to go. Most courses today however, would prefer you sand, so the sand is usually on your golf cart in the form of like this, or in a box with a scoop, so just take this, fill it up, not too much, not too little, something like that, just right up to the surface and doing this will keep the golf course looking good and playing in good shape."
