Ball Mark Repair...Is it Catching On?
Published February 14, 2006
Over the past several years I have made an exhaustive attempt to communicate the fact that many golfers are not repairing their ball marks properly. I've written guides, created videos and graphics, and consistently placed friendly reminders in the newsletter. Ball mark repair or lack there of has a serious impact on putting greens across the world, so much that it warrants a scientific study. Finally someone else is jumping on this wagon in yet another attempt to enlighten the golfing public of their misdeeds relating to ball mark repair.
Entitled Ball Mark Repair and Creeping Bentgrass Recovery, this study gives an in-depth look at the issue of repairing ball marks on putting greens. I encourage all of our members to take a look to hopefully gain some insight into the proper methods to repair their ball marks.
