but hes using a tee, would you use the same technique with a pm repairer?

[clemshaw]

you bet!!

[toreman81]

also shawn, the pm's i make on the greens on my course dont look like that one. the turf is never pushed up abve the normal level of the green, just a tiny little ball shaped dent. i dont see how i could repair those pm's with your technique. what do u reckon?

[clemshaw]

Any dent on the green can and should be repaired the way I show; like I said, the green is very porous and elastic and can be moulded almost like plasticine; NEVER bring the bottom up as there will be nothing under to support after that; shawn

Thank you for posting! My brother showed me how to do it this way last week (after I swallowed my pride - & asked him), because I was never 100% sure. For some reason I find it very satisfying to walk up & see a nice sized divot the proper trajectory makes. Hell, I even look around & fix previous golfer's divots - doesn't bother me at all, only the fact that they would leave them there. They should put a diagram on scorecards, showing the proper technique, a lot of eaten-up greens out there.

Way to go Matt! You must have a good green thumb around the house! We won't tell your wife though, she might expand the "honey do" list! LOL  Shawn

Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to explain and post this... it might be an uphill battle though to get more golfers to do the same. Keep up the fight.

[Mike Brairton]

Very helpful-Thanks!

Thumbs up if you take pride in repairing your pitch mark after a good shot.

I've always repaired mine and other peoples pitchmarks but never really knew how to do it. I do now. Thanks for this vid
