Fresh with no growth... Ie bare mud divot
I cannot see the logic in playing from a hole, which is in the middle of the fairway and making that hole deeper.
Should you get relief from a divot on the fairway?

No relief. As others have said there is no guarantee of a good lie on a fairway. Golf is an outdoor game played tee to green over natural terrain. The fairway simply has shorter grass but also has imperfections which include divots as these are a natural and inevitable aspect of the game.
There is also a skill to playing the shot which can be learned and practiced.

Is it 'better' to do that or to make a second hole!

Posts #3&4 pretty much sums it up for me. We'd all like the perfect lie from the fairway,but in the real world theirs a good chance you won't get it. You can either cry about it or just hit the ball 
PS- no one likes a cry baby.

Nope. Play it as it lies and get on with it. To be honest how often does it actually happen in the course of a season?

It was after a big society, not the members fault really.

I used to get the same response from the committee and members of one of the clubs playing at a municipal course.
We changed the system so the membership had a big block booking from 6.30am. 120 members playing in 3 balls.
Towards the end of their block booking I asked the Captain and Secretary to accompany me in the jeep to show them the many divots and pitch marks that their members had left. They were quite astounded.

I tend to drive into the rough just to be on the safe side

Yes but from seeded divots only.

Are you going to educate the birds . I have seen them lifting out divots looking for worms early in the morning.

Yes agree with this ,== any other seeded area would be GUR.=== My club had a local rule if in a seeded divot you could move it out with the head of your club 6".=== The R &A stopped this some years ago.=== If you play from a seeded divot there is nothing to put back in the hole ,== the greenkeepers have repaired this area of turf but that is destroyed by one shot.

No, and how often does it happen anyway. I can probably count on one hand the number of times it has happened to me and I don't remember when the last time was. It would be impossible to define anyhow.
