Paige Spiranac demonstrates the proper technique for repairing ball marks on the green to ensure healthy turf and smooth putting surfaces. She highlights the common mistake of lifting the soil and explains the correct method of pushing the grass toward the center.
Use a dedicated divot repair tool or a golf tee to fix pitch marks.
Insert the tool at the edge of the mark and push the turf toward the center.
Avoid the common mistake of lifting the center of the mark, which can tear the roots.
Finish by gently tapping the repaired area flat with the bottom of your putter.
Fixing your own mark plus one other is a great habit for course health.
