With Spring here warmer temperatures are sure to come soon. When warmer temperatures are here long enough our zoysia will begin growing. This will be the moment when we will be able to open our Driving Range Tee. Some things that everyone should keep in mind is the correct way to make a divot when hitting off the grass. This video demonstrates this perfectly.
The only thing that we would ask you to change is to leave a little more space between divot lines, possibly an inch or two. This will only help with the recovery of the turf. Instead of the grass having to grow through a big square disruption it can now grow through a skinnier one instead and recover faster.
When hitting approach shots into the green, almost all shots whether close or far will create a ball mark. It is common courtesy and good etiquette to find the ball mark you created with your shot and fix it. It is important to not only fix your ball mark, but to fix it properly. Do not pry up with your repair tool as that will sever the roots and prolong the healing of the ball mark. It is important to start at the back of the ball mark and push the surface towards the center working your way around the divot. Fixing the ball mark properly will not only help heal the mark faster, but will create a smooth putting surface for the next golfer. The most courteous golfers not only repair their own ball mark, but one other as well.
Please watch video for proper way to fix ball marks.
