The driving range tee has many divots taken out of the tee everyday and in an effort to minimize the disturbed area and minimize the amount of time for recovery, we ask that divots be made from front to back in your practice area. The picture demonstrates this from left to right. After each divot is removed, the ball should be placed on good turf behind the divot and then struck again. A longer, slender divot is much easier to repair and will heal much quicker. You should then allow one inch to two inches between rows so that there is a small strip of turf between every row.
Below is a view of divots which are in a large group and the area covers between 1-2 feet. This area is very difficult to get enough sand to transition between the removed area and the turfed area. Instead of filling this spot one time with sand, it takes 2 or 3 times to get this area smooth. These large group of divots are the areas on the tee that create high and low teeing surfaces causing an uneven playing surface.
