How to properly repair pitch marks

This can be done using the pitch mark repair tool or a tee. Basically a pitch mark is a displacement of the turf. So you have to push the turf back into place. So you work from the back / distal end of the mark i.e. the end with the higher mound of turf and ease the turf back. So when you put the tines of the tool into the ground, you push from the top towards the centre of the mark. Don't push down on the top of the tool to leverage the tines up because it just pushes the soil up and tears the roots resulting into delayed healing.

So now you know. Hopefully you repair your pitch marks. I do.
