GreenFix Ball Mark Elimination System
"GreenFix Ball Mark Elimination System Blister Pak The truth about repaired ball marks Even though most players and superintendents believe that ball marks heal quickly, research show that it actually takes over 38 days for all measurable obstacles (depth, diameter, and texture) created by an improperly repaired ball mark to disappear versus 20 days for an unrepaired ball mark . . . over two weeks longer! During the course of those 38 days, the ball mark repaired with the traditional divot tool and the technique used by most golfers was deeper, larger and worse texture than all other ball marks. Therefore, improperly repaired ball marks on each green at the end of 38 days could number over 5,000 visible and hidden obstacles to putting AND entry points for pests, weeds and disease. Why use the GreenFix Ball Mark Elimination System • Traditional Divot tools destroy the root system • GreenFix tools promote healing • With GreenFix you will have fewer ball marks on your greens • Committed to improving your greens and your enjoyment FAQ's What do you mean when you talk about a system? A system is “a collection of components and a process to accomplish a specific objective.” The GreenFix Ball Mark Elimination System combines a totally new tool . . a new technique. . . taught in an organized training program . . . using a pre-packaged kit of training and reminder materials. This process is led by the members, and requires that old-fashioned tools and harmful techniques be prohibited on that golf course. Those are the components of the Ball Mark Elimination System. How fast will ball marks disappear? Based on the Kansas State University research studies and evidence from golf writers and USGA Turf Advisors, most courses should be able to drastically reduce their Ball Marks within 90 days. However, if only 50% of your players attempt to fix the Ball Marks they make, and only half of those use the correct method , you could still be left with 75% of your Ball Marks. How much does the Greenfix Ball Mark Elimination System cost? Our turn key system has been proven to dramatically reduce the ball mark count (an average reduction of 70 percent!) on your greens. Top courses around the country have provided GreenFix with great feedback over the years on how to perfect our system. Every course needs a ball mark repair tool is simpler to use and safer for the greens, and a training and educational program so that they understand the reasons why change is necessary to improve their greens. Once they understand, long tonged tools damage greens, short tonged tools and a pushing method are safer and much more effective, they won’t go back to the old traditional tools. Does the system work as well on bermuda grass versus bent grass? As well on deep gnarly ball marks as it does on shallow craters? While bent grass greens and modern turf grasses show ball marks to a greater extent, Bermuda grass greens still harbor ball mark craters and need to be repaired. In every case, gnarly deep craters or Bermuda green ball marks will recover and heal faster with the GreenFix Wizard than they will with the traditional divot tool and technique. ANY DIGGING, LIFTING OR TWISTING OF ANY TURF PLANT WILL KILL THE TURF! Because of its patented design, The GreenFix Wizard only allows you to PUSH the walls of the ball mark crater back to the center. The turf plant is still alive, and smooth enough for following players to putt over. On the deep fat ball marks make two circles of pushing. First start about one half inch from the edge of the crater and push North, South, East and West as aggressively as the turf will allow. Then make another circle pushing right on the edge of the crater walls, N,S,E and W. This method should allow for the entire hole to be covered. Always tap down firmly.
