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.
In golf, a divot is a piece of turf that is cut out of the ground in the course of playing a stroke. (Divot can also refer to the hole left where the turf was gouged out.) Most golf shots played with an iron or wedge will scrape off a thin layer of turf where the ball was resting.
