Mike, I have never heard of a place where lifting the turf is proper to fix a ball mark, even "up north". Are there grasses where this is OK to use this method? I have always used the method in this video:

I have always been surprised how many people do not properly fix ball marks, even folks that I consider very good and experienced players. We have beautiful greens back north in Foxboro, MA, but brown spots will develop. This is often not due to the fact folks do not fix the mark, but rather the mark is being improperly fixed.

To your point about advising people, I have never found a way to bring up the subject with a fellow golfer without getting the evil eye, unless we know each other.

Thank you for posting this video clip!!! I hope it gets lots of views.
