We've had a lot of rain so most of the courses are getting a bit chewed up. I don't think I've played a round lately without ending up in one or two divots. If my ball is near the front of the divot, I have an easier time getting out, but when it's near the back - it's more difficult for me. I tend to be a sweeper anyway. How do you handle landing in a divot. (FYI - whining is not handling. )

I simply focus on staying down through the ball. The commonest error in hitting out of a divot is hitting the ball thin, so I just try to stay low all the way through impact... making more of a punch swing to be sure that my hands lead the clubhead.
