We have been noticing more unrepaired ball marks than usual. Below are instructions on how to properly repair a ball mark. Please repair yours and any others you come across on the green as a ball mark repaired soon after being made recovers much faster than one repaired the next day.
The right way to fix a ball mark
Step 1:
Use a pronged ball mark
repair tool, knife,
key or tee.
Step 2:
Insert the repair tool at the
edges of the mark; not the
middle of the depression.
Step 3:
Bring the edges together
with a gentle twisting motion,
but don't lift the center. Try not to
tear the grass.
Step 4:
Smooth the surface with
a club or your foot. Repeat
steps until the surface is one
you would want to putt over.
