• Rapid Recovery: A properly repaired mark heals in roughly 24 hours, whereas an ignored mark takes over two weeks, often leaving a brown, dead scar.
• Optimal Putting Surface: Unrepaired marks create bumps that ruin the line for trailing golfers, ensuring a smooth, fair, and fast green for everyone.
• Turf Health & Disease Prevention: Damaged, open turf is vulnerable to pests and diseases.
• Environmental Protection: Neglecting to fix them can encourage weed growth in the open soil. 

1. Use a Tool: Insert a repair tool or tee just outside the back and sides of the mark.
2. Pull, Don’t Lift: Gently push the surrounding grass towards the center, rather than lifting the center up, which tears the roots.
3. Flatten: Gently tap the area flat with your putter to ensure a smooth, healed surface.
