Proper Ball Mark Repair On Your Golf Course’s Putting Greens Begins With The Use Of A Proper Tool
September 1st, 2007
Throughout the history of golf, the ball mark repair tool has made its place into the golfer’s repertoire of necessary game equipment. Not much to them a first glance. They are inexpensive, popular as gifts and some courses actually give them away for free. Unfortunately, just because it has made its way into the golf bag does mean that all golfers use this tool religiously.
The average golfer does not realize that unrepaired ball marks take two to three weeks to properly heal, leaving behind unsightly, uneven putting surfaces. On the other hand, a repaired ball mark only takes half that time to heal.
A true aficionado of the game will fix his and others ball marks while his partner is putting. As industry professionals, how do we drive this point home to players? A simple demonstration sign in the staging area or lavatories can increase impact to your players so that everyone can enjoy turf uniformity.
Golf courses with a lot of play can benefit even more from this simple practice. Imagine if you could reach only 10% more players. Surely that would that offset the cost of a simple description placed in a highly visible yet discrete wall. Think about it… that would be a significant number.
With this approach, you are educating your players, reducing your workload, and enhancing your course’s appearance and playability, all with a simple task.
Ball marks on your greens can often be repaired better simply by providing a tool that is less likely to damage the turf’s root structure.
