Learn how to properly repair pitch marks to maintain our greens. Help us keep Girton’s course in great shape!
Despite a lot of great care from members, we’re still seeing divot marks being left unrepaired on the greens — and it’s starting to take its toll.
Why Repair Pitch Marks?
Greens don’t heal like fairways. A pitch mark left behind can affect putting lines for days (sometimes weeks), and it only takes a few seconds to put it right.
How to Repair a Pitch Mark (The Right Way)
Step 1: Insert your Pitch Repairer at the edge of the mark — not the middle.
Step 2: Gently push the turf back towards the centre from all sides (Do not lift upwards).
Step 3: Lightly tap down with your putter to smooth the surface.
Bonus Tip: Fix one extra pitch mark — the greens will thank you.
