Replace the divot, or use sand/seed mix?



Replace the divot, or add sand/seed mix?
I think the number one question I get asked by members is about replacing divots, or using divot mix. During spring and fall when turf growth is best, it will take at least 7 to 10 days for the seed to germinate. Add another two weeks for the grass to fill in the divot area, and you're looking at three to four weeks at least to recover. If you replace the divot, it will look good right away and will be back to normal in a week. There are times when an iron shot off the fairway will break into many small pieces, and replacement won't work. Those are the times to use the sand/seed mix. So, the question is answered and now we know to:
REPLACE YOUR DIVOTS! Thanks for your help.
