Golf pitchforks are useful tools for putting green repair, and all golfers should have one. Damage can occur to the surface of the grass when golfers brush it with their clubs or when golf balls land heavily leaving a dent. These dents, also called divots, need to be repaired as it can make putting very frustrating. Imagine seeing your golf ball heading for the flag, only for it to go over a divot and go in a different direction! Golf pitchforks are used to smooth the path for the ball before a putt is taken, and it also helps to keep the grass in good condition for others.

The traditional golf pitchfork have two metal prongs, and to fix a divot, they are inserted into the grass at the outside edge. The grass is them carefully lifted back into position, using a levering technique. The problem with this is that the right technique is not used, it can cause damage to the grass roots and it will not grow properly, and this could lead to more expensive repair work and an untidy green.

Pitchfix have a selection of golf pitchforks that have changed how divots are repaired. They have three pins, and there is no technique to using one. To repair a mark, the pins are inserted in and out of a divot a few times, and this lifts the grass without affecting the roots. Now results are good every time!
