Divoting

The action of replacing or repairing divots. Benefits of divoting include returning the surface to a good condition in as short a period as possible. This will include maintaining surface evenness, aiding rooting of a replaced divot where it has been replaced fairly soon after becoming detached, retaining ground cover and contributing to maintaining good playing quality. A divot mix, which may at times also include grass seed, may also be applied as part of the divoting process, especially on golf tees and heavily divoted winter pitches.
