Divot Repair

• Do not replace divots – the grass will grow up through the soil over time
• Use sand provided in sand bottles on each cart to fill the divot
• Fill the divot until full, but do not overfill – overfilling can damage mower blades and negatively impact the lie of a later player’s ball
• Use the same repair technique for divots in the rough
• When leaving the cart to hit a shot, take a sand bottle with you – especially for shots within 75 yards

Ball Mark Repair

• Use a ball mark repair tool or tee
• Insert repair tool/tee around the outside edges of the ball mark
• As you repeatedly insert tool/tee push the turf in towards the center of the ball mark – do not lift the turf up as you do so
• Continue the process until the ball mark is “filled in”
• Use a club or your foot to gently tap down the raised turf to smooth out the putting surface
• Look around and repair other ball marks on the green without unduly slowing down play

1. Enter and exit the bunker from the “low” side

• Prevents sand from being pushed down the face of the bunker
• Safer – steep slopes can be difficult to navigate and may cause injury

2. Smooth sand with the rake as you exit the bunker

• Take the rake into the bunker before you hit your shot
• Retrace your steps as you exit

3. Leave the rake outside the bunker

• Point handle back towards the fairway
• Place rake away from approach-to-green areas

4. Tap sand off the bottom of your shoes after you exit the bunker

• Prevents tracking sand onto the green

5. If you see another unraked area in the bunker, please rake it also

• Do so quickly so as not to delay play
