ALWAYS FIX YOUR BALL MARKS AND ALWAYS TRY TO FIX AT LEAST ONE EXTRA.  BALL MARKS ARE SOMETIMES HARD TO SEE UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE.  SOME OF COURSE ARE VERY EASY TO SEE BUT YOU MUST LOOK FOR THEM.  DON'T DEPEND ON SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX YOURBALL MARKS FOR YOU.

HOWEVER, YOU WON'T ALWAYS BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR BALL MARK.  THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO REPAIR OTHERS THAT WERE MISSED.  A PROPERLY REPAIRED BALL MARK CAN HEAL IN AS LITTLE AS 24 HOURS.  A MARK NOT REPAIRED OR REPAIRED IMPROPERLY CAN TAKE WEEKS TO HEAL.

BELOW ARE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROPER WAY TO REPAIR YOUR BALL MARK.  THE FIRST STEP IS TO CLOSE THE GAP WITH YOUR PUTTER BY PATTING DOWN THE BALL MARK.  NEVER LIFT UP ON THE ROOTS BUT PUSH BACK TOWARDS THE CENTER.  NEVER TWIST YOUR BALL MARK TOOL.  DO NOT PUT LOOSE TURF BACK INTO THE HOLE.  ALWAYS INSERT THE TOOL AND PULL THE EDGES TOWARDS THE MIDDLE.  GENTLY TAP THE SURFACE DOWN WITH YOUR PUTTER AND TRY TO LEAVE AS LITTLE BARE DIRT SHOWING AS POSSIBLE.
