It’s shocking how many people that play golf all the time pull up on the ball mark. I can hear the roots screaming when it happens.

Even more shocking how many people just don’t fix their marks. To all that don’t FUCK YOU

I’m baffled by people who don’t fix ball marks on the green. It’s one of the best feelings in golf.

I have a theory that the same people that don’t fix ball marks, are the same people that don’t return shopping carts.

Should be a pinned thread.
Also: **PICK UP YOUR FEET ON THE GREEN** the amount of people who shuffle their feet on the green is stupid. Just peeling the grass fibers upwards! /rant

People who don’t do this will burn for eternity. People who don’t rake the bunker will be poked in the balls by demons with pitchforks for a hundred years. So it is written…

As someone who just skulls it over the green and then does a Texas wedge to get it on, I don’t need to worry about this.

Someday I’ll get to use this knowledge.

I know I’m playing a good round when I use the divot fixer a lot. I don’t use the divot fixer a lot.

So, I’ve been doing it wrong. To be fair though, no one has ever showed me otherwise.

If I could hit the green, I’d fix my ball marks. Only played about 10 months. Started darting greens from 100 yards out after a few months, then it dissappear after like 2 months. Hasn’t returned. I’m back to my starting skill. It’s just getting worse lmao. I gotta start going back to the range every week. Crazy how much it helps.

Well, I just learned I have been fixing by ball marks wrong for years!

Shocking how many don’t know this

The sign is correct, but people are terrible about fixing them. It’s sad honestly. Some greens I fix 5 or 6 and there are still about 25 to go…

Played with a gardener once. He just used his tee to poke a hole in the middle then a few around and used his thumb to smooth it out. Couldn’t even tell, it was wild. I do that now.

I’m not gonna lie, I did it the wrong way for YEARS until someone corrected me.
PavinsMustache
I actually think this method is easier with a tee or single prong repair tool. It basically makes twisting impossible.

Wait you guys are reaching the green with your approach shots?

This is interesting. I have (what I’m pretty sure is a knockoff of) the Scotty Cameron tool, and it seems to be designed to have you fix pitch marks the wrong way, according to this sign.

Also a golf tee works wonders… repair yours and one more, that would be a dream at a course that gets 300 rounds per day… welcome to Phoenix during peak season.

Well I fix them but apparently I’m killing roots SO I GUESS IM JUST AS BAD 😂
ravagetalon
I invested in a really nice repair tool this year and it’s come in handy. My approaches seem to leave absolute craters on the green. I fix mine and one or two others. Take care of your course and it will take care of you.

I never hit the green from distance so there is never a ball mark to leave.
