Most of the divot tools I see have longer handles.
Why doesn't the Green Friendly Tool have a longer handle?

Divot tools with long handles encourage the "lifting" type of repair that has been proven by The U.S.G.A. to destroy the grass in the repaired area by lifting the grass roots out of the gravel bed.

The short handle of the Green Friendly Divot Tool encourages the twisting type of repair that has been adopted by The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, The U.S.G. A., and the PGA Tour.
