Definition: The term "divot tool" refers to the two-pronged metal or hard plastic tool used to repair ballmarks on the surface of the putting green. Note that we said a "divot tool" is used to repair ballmarks, not divots. Divots occur in the fairway (or teeing ground) and a "divot tool" has nothing to do with them. Hence, "divot tool" is actually the wrong name for the tool, which is properly called a "ballmark tool" or ballmark repair tool."
For instructions on using a ballmark tool, see the tutorial, "How to repair ballmarks."
Also Known As: Divot repair tool ... and the proper name is "ballmark tool" or "ballmark repair tool."
