we get the same Problems Loads of Crows nest in the garden of a large house overlooking our Practice ground. the course we played in Ediburgh for our jolly all had seed and sand mix bags for players to take on the course with then and fill your own.. seemed like a good idea. was suggested to the club when we got backI have seen some divots that I wouldn’t mind made out of steak .
One of the problems is the birds pull them out looking for worms, I have seen them do it early in the morning.
The divot is right next to the hole.
We had green biodegradable things to stop the birds but haven't seen them for years now, cost I assume.
We had a local rule for seeded divots rolloff as once played there was no divot to put back.
But this was stopped by R&A according to club.
Quite a few rugby players at my place and they take some very big ones.
