And so do I. It's been stated over and over, that the rules have been changed many times. so what's the problem with making one more change for divots? Why can't divots be defined as "ground under repair"? It wouldn't be hard to do, and it would solve the argument. Of course that's just my opinion, and I have the right to have said opinion. What might be interesting would be to take a poll here, and see what the members of this site believe. As much as this subject comes up on this any all other golf forums I've visited, it would appear that a lot of golfers agree that we should be allowed to move the ball out of a divot, and that a divot should be considered ground under repair.

Um, that's kind of the way opinions work.
