Truman says, "Fix your ballmarks to help keep the greens rolling at their best."
A ballmark tool should include long prongs to get into the soil profile. Push in or turn slightly to help smooth out the area. DO NOT lift up the roots as it can cause damage and death to the plant.
Finally use your putter or foot to smooth out the blemish.
Thank you!

Caring For Cups

Would you agree with me if I wished the holes in putting greens were bigger? I bet you would. The diameter of a hole is 4.25 inches. The diameter of the bottom of the flagstick is 1 inch. We encourage timely play around Vail Golf Club, but when it comes time to replacing the flagstick after putting, we all ask that you please do so carefully. Time and time again we are faced with the challenge of deteriorating cup edges before noon on a daily basis.
The turf on our greens does not have a strong root system and can only handle so much stress. Please be careful when replacing your flagstick. If you do have an "oops moment", please take the time to fix your damage so that the players behind you can enjoy the golf hole as much as you did.
