Grivot: It is the impression that is created by a golf ball when it strikes the putting surface or green of a golf hole. Many times this impression is called a divot. This is a misuse of the word. A divot is an impression created by swinging a golf club and is typically is created in the fairway or on the playing surface but not on the green. A divot is typically repaired by filling the impression with sand and grass seed in order to make the surface like new again. The term "ball mark" is also commonly used to describe a grivot. Ball mark is also a vague term and is not always synonymous with "grivot."

A grivot is the term used only for the impression the ball makes on the green or putting surface that is to be repaired by using a grivot tool in order to protect the putting surface and make it new again. --Lane forrest lebaron (talk) 12:55, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
