Please Replace Your Divot

After hitting your golf shot please replace your divot. This a quick an easy way to ensure that the turf can repair itself, not damage mowers and will not inhibit another golfers shot.

If the divot has good integrity please replace the divot using the instructions below. If the divot is not of good quality please use the sand provided in the carts. The reason we prefer you to replace your divot is that turfgrass will always repair itself faster vegetatively. Using the divot mix with seed can take up to 10 days to germinate. 

How to Replace Your Divot:

1) After the golf shot, attempt to locate the divot. 



2) Place the removed divot back into the missing patch area exactly the way it was removed.  Avoid placing the divot in backwards or upside down.



3) After placing the divot into the patch area tap the grass back down with your feet or club head to ensure that the playing surface is flat and smooth. Leaving an unsmooth divot could result in a mower chopping up the divot or a bad lie for another golfer.



Thank you for your help by replacing your divots.
