Our driving ranges are there for your use and we expect and are required to perform regular maintenance. Aerification, mowing, fertilizing, divot filling and topdressing are required to keep the turf as smooth as possible and in good shape.
There is one area in which our golfers can greatly influence how quickly our turf fills back in from a practice session. Long lined divots or rows from the front of the practice tee area to the rear are preferred than taking the turf completely out of a 2x2 square.
When watching the pros practice at a tournament, they remove almost every blade of grass. This is not the example you should follow. They do this type of pattern because there are 150 people hitting balls over a 5-7 day period. The range tee after a tournament stop needs to be completely renovated because of the amount of divots removed.
Check out the video below regarding divot patterns that we prefer you take at Glen Echo CC.
