A Question I Get Asked

As our green sand for divots nears it end along with the seed we have remaining I get asked quite a bit about divot recovery.
I had Brian, the assistant pro, take five evenly sized divots next to the small putting green for the test.  Please do not do anything to these divots they are part of the test.  Then we filled the divots with different parameters ... one with straight green sand; one with our 50/50 sand/OM mix; one with green sand and seed; one with 50/50 and seed; and lastly without any divot mix.
Ernie Filling the Divots
These divots will be allow to heal under normal conditions under normal watering.  We will get back in a couple of weeks with the results.
