Repairing ball marks on greens is an important etiquette
that preserves green playability and roll through out the day. Properly
repairing a ball mark is the best way to ensure all golfers can enjoy their
rounds with out disturbances on the green.
Unrepaired or incorrectly repaired ball marks can leave scars, raised turf prone to mower scalping, and bumpy surfaces. Always try to gently push the outside turf into the cavity without tearing the turf. A good practice is to always fix yours and find one more that has not been repaired.
