As the days get shorter and the temperatures start to drop, these are the signs that fall is coming.  Fall is a great time for golf, especially the fall colors and the golf conditions.  One way to help ensure we keep great golf conditions and course care, is proper divot filling/replacement.  Proper divot care is important, especially in the fall with slower turf growth and seed germination; this will pay dividends in the coming fall and set us up for a great spring.

This week, I would like to highlight proper divot care, with guidelines on when to replace or fill with the divot seed mix.  “Should I replace the divot, fill it with divot mix or replace the divot and then put the divot mix?”  Below are the guidelines on how to replace divots at Green Bay Country Club; not to mention, these are the same guidelines set by the USGA. When golfers take the time to replace a divot properly or repair divot areas, it helps keep the fairways and tees in good condition for their fellow golfers.
