Llanerch Golf Course and External Activities

As you play the golf course, you will start to see black spots on some of the fairways. It is the divot mix we use to help fill in the fairways with bentgrass. These damaged areas are usually spots where either a divot was not replaced or divot mix was not used. I am happy to say that divot repair has improved dramatically this year but we still need your help. If your shot produces a divot, always replace it. If the divot "explodes" or is just a shredded mess, please use divot mix from your cart or caddy. Thanks.

The question of what to do after hitting a shot that makes a divot is a common one. I have always advised that it is better to replace the divot. The seed and divot mix is only to be used if the shot creates a "scare" with no real divot or the divot explodes in numerous pieces. In that case, the divot mix is a better choice. Also, most players would rather have their ball land on a repaired divot then on a "sand pit".
