How to Repair a Golf Ball Divot on the Putting Green

Video Transcript

"Golf divots are something you find in your everyday round at a golf course. They're found on the green, and they're made by the ball striking the green. My name is Jared Garbett, and today, I'm going to teach you how to properly repair your golf divot. You're going to begin by taking your divot tool, which you can get at just about any golf course, or golf equipment store. You're going to take it, and insert it around the edges of the divot, and gently pull toward the center of the divot. Never pull upwards, in fear of tearing the roots, but you're going to work your way around the divot, and gently pull toward the center. After closing the divot up, you're going to gently take your putter, and tap down on the surface of the green, to flatten out the surface. That is how you properly repair your divot, and you should always do so, to keep the golf course, nice for everyone else."
