DIVOT TOOLS
LEGENDARY DIVOT TOOLS
What Is a Divot Tool?
A divot tool is a small, handheld device golfers use to repair damage to the green or fairway caused by their ball. Most tools feature one or two prongs (or pins) and help restore the turf quickly and cleanly.
What Does a Divot Tool Do?
Repairs pitch marks on greens: The tool is used to lift and push the grass at the edges of the ball mark inward to close the hole.
Fixes divots on fairways: It can help reposition a chunk of displaced turf, or be used alongside a sand/seed mix to fill the divot.
How to Use a Divot Tool Correctly
Step 1: Locate the divot
Find the mark or indentation caused by your ball on the green or fairway.
Step 2: Insert the tool
Place the prongs around the outside of the divot, never in the center.
Step 3: Push turf inward
Gently nudge the grass toward the center of the mark — don’t lift upward.
Step 4: Smooth the surface
Use the sole of your putter to gently tap the area flat so it’s level with the rest of the green.
Divot Tool Tips
- Avoid pulling up — this can tear grass roots and delay healing.
- Always carry one — every golfer should help keep the course in great shape.
- Use your putter to smooth — it’s perfect for finishing the repair.
- Consider a magnetic marker — our tools come with a built-in magnet for holding your ball marker.
