Pitch marks are a great pain for a lot of golf clubs. There is nothing more infuriating for a golfer than to see their perfect putt knocked off line, especially through no fault of their own.
It is alarming how many golfers seemingly neglect to repair their pitch marks.
The fact is that there are players out on the course who don't know how to actually repair a pitch mark in the correct way. The end product is an ugly brown scar left on the green that not only looks awful, it will affect the roll of your putts.
Successfully repaired pitch marks can heal within twice the time it takes for a half-hearted attempt to recover.
Below is a video filmed at Cleobury Mortimer Golf Club that explains the most efficient method for protecting your greens from pitch mark damage.
