About this book

The divot tool sits in a golfer's pocket or a superintendent's cart, taken for granted until a ball lands on a torn-up green. This handbook treats it with the seriousness it deserves. It starts with the fundamentals—what a divot tool actually does, how tine geometry affects turf recovery, and the material science of stainless vs. carbon steel—and moves through a systematic process for selecting tools for a public muni, a private club, or a high-volume driving range.

★★★★★

Solid reference. I'm a course superintendent and I've bought divot tools on reputation and price for years without really understanding tine geometry or steel grades. This book fixed that. The chapter on maintenance is genuinely useful—I've already set up a sharpening station in our maintenance barn. Only reason it's not 5 stars: the business chapter is interesting but a bit thin on real numbers, like typical wholesale margins. But for the core content on choosing and using tools, it's the best I've read.
