    We are looking for ways to provide divot bottles for golfers that do not use carts. If you have anything that works for your club, I would appreciate some ideas. Photos are always welcome too.
    Thank you,
    Tim Hood

    Tim,

    Our push carts have them mounted on them.

    Thanks for the response Jeff. Most of our members supply their own pull carts.

    Tim,
    We had the same issue as all of our walkers have their own carts. One of our members starting making a pouch that has a strap that slides over the handle of the cart. The bottle just slides down into the pouch and is easily removed to fill divots or re-fill the bottle. She sells them I think for $10, but are a very simple design if you know anyone that likes to sew. I do not have a picture at this time but I could get one for you.

    Good luck,

    Tim,

    We used these at my last club. Lots of walkers and caddies. It's the 1TB-C model.

    We would put about 15-20 on the first tee daily. 10-15 on the 10th tee and 3-4 on every couple holes thru the course leaning on the tee benches.

    Be forewarned that people will complain if they are empty or run out so your set up guy has to be diligent about getting them filled and back in place daily. Also they tend to end up in the bag room. But I think it's worth the trouble because who doesn't like a walker that fills divots.

    Cheers,

    Any body remember when golfers replaced the divots. The sand bottle all but stopped that practice. I think the sand bottle originated on Bermuda courses. Countless golfers have told me a divot will not grow back. Where did that come from?
