There is a right way and a wrong way to repair pitch marks on a green. When the ball impacts it displaces the turf away from you. So we need to push that turf back to where it was, and then tamp down with the putter.
If you lift the turf upwards, you break the roots and cause the turf to die.
Watch the video where Mark Jante from the Flagstaff Hill Pro Shop, and Champion golfer Adam Bland show how it should be done.
