I've heard several mentions of sand bottles in this thread. The wife and I were down to TV over Memorial Day weekend closing on our house and I finally let curiosity get the best of me and asked somebody what the heck those oddly topped bottles on golf cars even were. He explained the sand bottle concept to me.
Most of my golfing (which was years ago) was in Michigan and nobody there ever had anything like a sand bottle. If you made a divot, you just grabbed the clump of grass you'd ripped up, put it back in place and tamp it down with your iron. I guess I'm still not 100% clear on the concept of the sand bottle. You make a divot and then fill it with sand? Is this special sand? Do you replace the grass you tore up?
Well, I'm sure the first time I play and make a divot, it'll be explained quite thoroughly to me! And I'm looking forward even to that! I've still got a couple of years of work ahead of me before I retire, but I'm counting down the days before I can become a frog!
