Scotty pivot tool?...huh?

[Guest]

Does anyone have a particularly good repair tool to recommend? After reading this thread, I think almost all of the repair tools I have seen and used would fall into the unacceptable category. I would like to do my part to keep the courses I play in top shape.

Wonderful link

I am no longer amongst the unknowing/less-informed golfers previously mentioned.

I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to touch on this issue. I am ashamed to say that I have been repairing ballmarks incorrectly for some time. Thanks to everyone here for clarifying the exact way to repair marks.

Jeez, I feel like a doofus. I was taught the pry up method a long time ago, and always assumed that was correct. Now I know, and I'll put my Scotty tool in a drawer somewhere! :)

This is just another thing about golf that I learned that i did wrong. Thanks for bringing the proper technique to my attention

Less brown dead spots on the greens is beneficial for everyone, I mean you all had the right intentions in trying to get rid of the dents made on the green. Now with the proper technique there are no side-affects . It's unfortunate that I believe the vast majority of those fixing their ball marks incorrectly will never come across this forum or anything close to being as informative. So at least those that were previously fixing their ball marks incorrectly on this forum went out of their way to become more informed about golf and it's intricacies.

thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to getting out there and making a huge divot and then fixing it correctly. it'll be fun. I too was a brown spot maker. Sorry. I'll be spreading the love to everyone I know now.

Since TGW doesn't sell prison shanks I'd say the Greenfix Wizard Repair tool is the best option.
