   What are you using for removing driving range tee divots?
   
   In the past we have blown them off and used a Fairway vac/sweeper to pick them up every week before we mow. The GM wants to keep up better and we now clean them up three days a week and remove them at that time.
   
   It seems pointless to put sand and seed down just to blow it off the next day. Raking takes 2-3 hours.
   
   Any small unit sweepers that you have used successfully? Does a pull behind home lawn leaf sweeper work on wet divots. It seems like it would save a lot of time if it would work.

   We have a designated gator with divot mic in with a level all and a Jed sweeper attached to it , aa tc125, very good success with it, divots are swept daily and tee cut three times a week

   For about 3 or 4 years, we've been using an Ohio Steel 50" sweeper from Northern Tool.
   Quick and easy to pull and dump. Have guy doing trash duty pick up the piles made.
   We leave it up on the side of the range tee, out of site.
   Heck...with any cooperation you might be able to have those invaluable Outside Services people run it.
   We've gone through 2 sets of brushes...order those directly from Ohio Steel. Cheap and easy

   We do a Buffalo Blower behind a Gator every AM when doing setup, then on the day we mow the surrounds and field we sweep up the debris with our TC125. Tee is mowed every time fairways are mowed. No baskets.
   
   Divots are filled 3-4 times weekly on our blue/bent/poa/rye .4 acre tee. We use a mix f low mow blue and rye in our mix.
