I am an Arizona native with 30 years experience primarily in bankruptcy law. Having served the Maricopa County Justice Courts as a Judge Pro Tem from 2001 through 2008, I am a current member of the Arizona Bar in good standing and admitted to practice law in all state and federal courts.
Golf divot tools are a useful item of golfing lit that is used to repair the scuffs in the grass caused when gofers brush it with their clubs or when golf balls land on the putting green. Keeping the grass in good condition is important, but it is not just a job for the greenkeepers.
You can see that my divot is well in front of the ball at this point. The catch is, if I take my right hand...I'm going to do this same drill now, and I use my right hand only. Golf divots with the right hand are behind the ball. Now you'll notice how much my divots want to bottom out way back behind the ball.
