Bad days on the course are when you don't have to fix any of your own ball marks!

I know this is a bit off topic ... but isn't this the WRONG way to repair a ball mark:

Has anyone used one of these?

Looks like it works faster than the traditionbal ball mark repair tool. Also looks like it is impossible to use the wrong way. Might be a little bigger in the pocket but can be attached to a belt loop. I was thinking about getting a couple of these for my wife and me. May also get one as a gift for my golf instructor. She can use it when giving a lesson and maybe promote ball mark repairs to her other students.

Thanks, Smallville. I missed that. Looks like it was written before I joined. I really should go back and catch up on the old articles. Great review. I think that I will go order a couple of Mark Menders.

Bermuda divots do what they say "anti-heal" in this neck of the woods. According to most supers we have spoken with here they call it "extra die off" when the divot is replaced on the surrounding areas. By filling the divot with sand they say the bermuda spreads faster and grows back faster (closer to 50% faster according to them). You will see the instructions at almost every "nicer" course in Fl saying "Do not replace divots, instead fill with stand".
I think I understand what you're saying. Let me ask you this: does the same logic apply to ballmarks or are they different because they're not actually divots but more like "misplaced" grass?
I don't really know much about the nuances of Bermuda grass, although I love putting on Bermuda greens!

I learned golf being a caddy at one of the local country clubs. We were taught to repair any and all ball marks on greens and replace divots. Rakes were to placed outside of sand traps and placed parallel to the fairway. The rake thing varies from course to course. I replace them where I find them.
Today I fixed 10 - 15 ball marks on every green. While that kind of ticks me off, I am totally disgusted with all the cigar butts tossed everywhere, including the greens. WTF! Having never been a smoker, all that butt disposal is disgusting, but throwing trash on a golf course should get you banned. Permanently!
