Divot replacement

Each morning my staff and I drive the fairways, and pickup perfectly good divots.  The misconception is that these will not regrow, and divot mix is the only way to replace these gouges in the fairway.  This could not be further from the truth.  

As long as the divot has good roots and soil in tacked, the best way is to replace them.  With adiquate moisture from rain, or irrigation, these will take root fairly quickly.  Much quicker than seed/mix will establish, and give you a better playing surface to hit from.  If the divot shatters to tiny pieces it is best to use mix.  

Thanks again for continual effort in making our fairways the best around!
