To Divot or Not to Divot that is the question.

A few things come into play, ground hardness. In Louisiana, we have hardpan. You can hit it hard and get a little dust ball. I recently played in Pensacola, Florida. The ground was much softer an took a few monster divots.

That's one factor, the other is the angle of desent into the ball. Not wanting to pick on shorter people, but the angle of attack to the ball is shallower. Golfers with a rounder swing are shallower on the angle and usually have shallower divots. Nothing wrong with that as long as they look like bacon strips and not letter c's.

Conversely, taller golfer's usually have a steeper angle and gunshot the ball. The divot looks more like a small explosion. On soft courses you can dig a small garden.

Which ever you do, hit the ball first!!!
