Correctly replacing a ball mark on the green to keep the greens looking nice and putting well

August 27th, 2007 · No Comments



When you see all of those marks on the green that other people’s golf balls have made, it’s because they didn’t take the time to fix it properly or didn’t do it at all.

Fixing a ball mark correctly
1. Insert a repair tool vertically into the green next to the ball mark and push the top of the repair tool TOWARD the center of the mark. This brings grass from around the mark into the center of the hole. Tap the mark gently with your shoe or putter to flatten the surface.

Incorrectly fixing a mark
1. Insert a repair tool vertically into the green next to the ball mark and push the top of the repair tool AWAY from the center of the mark and down, which raises the dirt at the bottom of the mark to the surface to fill the hole. While this fills the mark, it will take a MONTH for the grass to fill the center of the mark. Tap the mark gently with your shoe or putter to flatten the surface.
