        Oh! Would have thought that would require longer tines, but I’ve never golfed, guess the divots are smaller than I imagined.

          They’re pretty much used to keep the green from having a bunch of impact craters all over it. The ball coming down from a high angle can leave a decent dent in the ground.

            I always thought of the patch of grass ripped out by the club when driving the ball. Always wondered how those short prongs would fix that big of a patch. TIL
