Anyone use the Augusta method?

Ever since I first watched that video a few weeks ago, I have used the "Augusta method" for repairing pitch marks.  It works very well and leaves a beautiful and virtually-undetectable repair to the greens.

DR - Callaway Paradym AI Smoke TD, Newton Motion 4-Dot

4W - Callaway Paradym 3HL, Newton Motion Fairway shaft, 4-Dot

HYB - Paradym X 18*, HZRDUS Smoke Red 80S; Sub 70 949X 21*, same shaft

7W (if played) - Sub 70 849, ProForce Black 80-S

Irons - Callaway Paradym, HZRDUS Silver Gen 4, S-flex

Wedges - Edison 2.0, 53* and 57* (bent to 58*), KBS TGI 100

Putter - (currently in flux, but usually an Evnroll 8V

Ball - Maxfli Tour-X CG (2023)

Bags - Ghost Golf Maverick Black Ops

Cart - MotoCaddy M7 Remote (without the remote)

Spoiler

driver / off the tee is no longer a weakness for me!

Since I saw the Augusta method months ago I have started using that method.  I will say it is based on the divot that is created.  Deeper divots get the augusta method and shallow divots get the "normal" method.

I started doing it earlier this year and find it works better than using a divot tool.  Rarely can you even tell there was a ball mark there.

14 of the following:

Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree

Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees

Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees

Callaway Epic Max 11 wood

Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW

Mizuno 923 JPX HM HL 6-GW

Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53

Maltby M Series+ 54 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree

Evnroll ER2

Ping Sigma 2 Anser

Cheap Top Flite mallet putter from Dick's, currently holding down first place in the bag

I use a boutique single prong.  I used plastic tees but found that they had a tendency to bend and make it harder to push the edges in.

I'm usually impressed if someone uses any meathod. 😉

There is a guy that plays in our group and he will stand and watch me repair my mark, his mark and several others. Never says a word. I just smile and do my thing. You just can't fix stupid, but I can fix the ball marks.
