Further to our story imploring members and visitors to Please Look After Our Greens there were suggestions we inlcude advice on the correct way to repair pitch marks.
Ideally, you should always carry a pitch repair tool(there are some very inexpensive models at the JGC shop); – always repair your pitch marks (and any others that have been thoughtlessly left behind) ; and learn to do it in the correct fashion, particularly not leaving the patches of bare earth common on many greens at Jamberoo and elsewhere.
In this quick video, golf pro Clem Shaw shows how it is done.
