Range Tee Divot Management

Our turf on our practice range tee is disappearing rapidly.  We fill divots on the tee almost daily.  However, with the high temperatures, the seed within the divot mix is having a difficult time germinating and establishing.  All members and guests can assist us in maintaining the range tee by maximizing the hitting surface.  Below is a link to a recent publication by the USGA Green Section.  It discusses the proper way to form a divot pattern and maximize the usable turf.
