So under no circumstances should I put the divot back? So the only way to repair the divot is having the same box with me? I mostly walk but got a push cart and could bring sand with me. Nobody seems to do this at my club, but I’m not sure why. Also got yelled at once for not putting the divot back in which I felt bad for, but now your telling me that’s dead grass.
I appreciate this as an avid golfer, people put way too much sand down or none, fill your divots and fix your ball marks and one your course will be nicer and two you’ll actually play better
I worked maintenance for years, that’s not true. The grass will grow back if there is enough moisture as a lot of the roots are not torn just pulled out
Every time I see the euro youtubers put the grass back, I think of this. I was yelled at by a greenskeeper when I was a kid, like 10, to NEVER put the grass back. I got a nice lengthy lecture about it! Still hear it everytime! Hey kid what f do you think your doing
This is only for Bermuda grass. If you live in the Northeast/west US and into Canada – please fill in the divot w/ the grass chunk. If it gets water over the next few days to a week, my experience is, it will grow back.

I hate golf, but if I was a golfer I can tell you one of the last things I am bringing with me is a jug of sand.
With golf cleats?
Ground keepers should love me. I never take a divot.

Sure that’s true with the Bermuda he’s on, but other grass types like northern grass types is a different answer
So I gotta get a baggy for all my divots now 😂😂😂
Do your job when I go to work I don't show up at the job and ask the client why the demo didn't get done no I do it
I'll play golf, you fix the course. That's what I pay my membership for.
Even with the Bermuda grass, our members tent to leave the divots without filling the sands. 😢
I don’t take divots so not a problem

The misconception used to be the right and only way to fix divots before there was sand tool or whatever tf you call em
Yeah but you get paid to fix what we mess up. Get to work.
And ball marks on the green…please!🙏🏼🤦🏻♂️

People that take divots are not really flushing it
Grinds my gears when people don’t fix fairway divots and especially ones on the green. It not only makes you an asshole but shows how lazy you are.
Not even true for all grass types

Too bad not a single course gives sand near me
