Why Don’t You Replace Divots on The Tee Box?

by Maura Hutchinson



Mark Crossfield answers an interesting question from Gary that many people don't know the answer to. "during a course vlog I recently heard Coach Lockey say that you don't replace divots on a Tee box, I was wondering why is that?

The reasons behind this is that because it's a smaller area the green keepers can manage it closely, you don't want to be putting your tee into the ground and it wobbling around on an old divot, when you hit go to hit your shot your shoes might struggle to maintain their grip in the turf if the roots are not deep enough.

After a while, the tees would become very uneven with people putting different levels of seed in the holes they make. So, all in all, leave it to the green keepers to keep the tee boxes maintained.
