Longest practice range divot pattern I've ever seen

I'd prefer that to the random divots I usually see. Most people go to the range and roll their balls all over their stall until they've used every prefect little tuft of grass. I don't get it and apparently neither do they given the number of times I've heard "but I was hitting it perfect on the range". On  bad day when they haven't moved the ropes I often have to use a tee unless I want to practice hitting out of divots.

I'll take a 3-4 foot strip move over and do maybe one more before switching to a tee for longer clubs.

If you put your ball on the back of a divot, how much does it grow each time?

One large divot is easier to repair than a lot of random spaced ones. I know the course I practice at prefers one large divot to several smaller ones for that reason. In fact a 1' square divot is really what they want when the golfer is done. They grow their own sod, and can cut a repair to fit. .

That's how they should look, not the bomb crater mess that you usually find.

Earlier this season, I ended up with about a 12-18" long divot while warming up before a lesson.  The guy came over and the first thing he said when he saw it was "well, first off, your divots are way too big."  (He was not joking.)

Pfft. I took a 10" divot on the course yesterday.

Grass grows in from all sides, so a huge square block of divots is much worse than small divots across the plot.
