A divot repair apparatus transports and dispenses fill material to fill and repair divots. The repair apparatus includes a hopper for holding the fill material, the hopper being adapted to be worn on the user's back; a conduit for dispensing the fill material from the hopper; and a valve assembly disposed in the conduit for controlling the flow of the fill material from the hopper. An outlet end of the conduit may include a smoothing tool for manipulating the fill material after it has been dispensed.
