huge divot?

Yas Links
Challenge

a) Stick it in the ear of the guy who yelled, “Oh, look! A bald eagle!”
b) If it went farther than the ball, blame the divot and kick it up and
down the fairway for a little while.
c) Focus your attention further down the fairway and say, “Divot? What
divot? I didn’t see a divot.”
d) Retrieve the dislodged divot and replace it in the hole and press it
down firmly with your foot.
