There is perhaps no greater edict in all of golf etiquette than this: Take care of the golf course! From raking bunkers to disposing of trash, it’s one of the game’s great imperatives that we leave the course as good (or hopefully better!) than we found it.

Unfortunately, anyone who plays knows that golfers often fall short of this simple ideal, especially when it comes to repairing ball marks on the green. While it’s not always intentional, there’s no excuse for leaving behind a gaping pockmark where your ball landed. And for those who do dutifully look after their ball marks, a tee is no longer the best instrument to get the job done. Divot-repair technique has come a long way, and modern tools include exciting extras like magnetic ball marks and bottle openers.
