What is a divet box?

A divot box is a small container used in Golf to hold sand or a mixture of sand and soil, which is used to fill in divots—gouges or chunks of grass that are displaced when a golfer takes a swing at the ball. These boxes are usually placed on golf courses to encourage players to repair the course after their shots, promoting better playing conditions and grass health. Having divot boxes readily available helps maintain the aesthetics and functionality of the golf course.
