I'm no expert. (I'm sure those who are will correct me...heheh.) But in Florida, most of the soil is rather sandy. And Florida divots are rarely a solid piece of turf that can just be placed back in the soil. Even if they are, it would rarely take hold in the sandy soil.
So the common practice is to just put sand in the divot to bring it back up to the original ground level and let nature take its course. The divot then repairs itself fairly quickly.
(By the way, I did get myself a regular plastic water bottle, filled it with sand and put it my bag today as I walked the course. Worked just fine. I feel better now.
