To replace the divot or not replace the divot. That is the question.

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".

Golf Course Update (Groundhog Day Version)

Another day without rain. That has been the story for the last 2 weeks. We have been working hard to keep the course with just enough water to keep the plants alive and still be firm and fast. You will also notice that we are no longer mowing the intermediate cut around fairways. With the planned addition of 3 to 4 acres of fairway, it was deemed unnecessary to keep it. If you have any questions regarding the renovation, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you and see you on the course!
