I don't really care one way or the other. I can remember maybe 1 or 2 times it was an issue. Just part of the breaks I guess. Take more club, accelerate through the ball, and stay down. When you see the overhead shots at pro tournaments and all the divots they have to navigate, I am surprised it doesn't happen more often than it does.

There is a new Payne Stewart tribute course in Branson that has a local rule that you are to treat filled divots as ground under repair and you get a free drop. The story is that Payne was very much against the rule that you have to play from in a divot, so when they made the course they put in that local rule because that is what he would have wanted.
