What's up with that? Obviously, one would expect more such marks on a hole of such length that it regularly receives wedges rather than 4 irons, but the differences have also been noted amongst holes of comparable length. I've made that inquiry a *lot* with never a satisfactory answer. While I'm sure every patch of turf grass can't receive exactly the same amount of water, I imagine that they're all "pretty close" for any given course. Based on past experience, I imagine that I'll still be asking this same question years from now. :-) Something for which to look forward. . .
Inconsistent construction techniques. Ball Divots are related to the softness (wetness, usually) of the Greens. If the underlining material is consistent, ball marks will typically consistent. If the underlying material of the Green isn't uniform, ball marks won't be, either.
