fixing golf divots

Do you regularly fix divots? I play with more golfers who complain about divot marks than golfers who fix divot marks. Turf damage is easily avoided with proper repair. In the Rules of Golf Section I,  “. . . a player should ensure that any divot hole made by him and any damage to the putting green made by a ball is carefully repaired.” The simplest rule is to fill divots with sand in the south or areas with bermuda grass, and by replacing the grass everywhere else.

There is no penalty for not Fixing divots, but everyone suffers from course conditions that result from improper care.
