Barrel Golf Divot Tool Review

Accessories · 9 rounds in my bag

7.8/ 10

The short version

First swing with the Barrel Golf Divot Tool and it is one of those small things you do not notice until you play a round without it. Small thing, but it saved me time on every hole I used it. The catch: it is easy to leave behind on a green, so mark it.

How it played

I put it in play for 9 rounds and never babied it — wet mornings, baked-out afternoons, the lot. What I keep coming back to is that it is one of those small things you do not notice until you play a round without it. Where it bit me: it is easy to leave behind on a green, so mark it — worth knowing before you spend the money.

How it looks

Well made, and it does not rattle around in the bag. I care less about that than how it feels, but it does not hurt.

What won me over

it survived a full season in the bag
it does one job and does it properly
the build quality is well above the price

Good to know before you buy

it is easy to leave behind on the course
the price is high for what it is

My verdict

7.8/10 from me. If you like the bag sorted rather than a jumble, the Barrel Golf Divot Tool earns its spot in the bag. If it is easy to leave behind on the course is a dealbreaker for you, keep looking.
