A good one if you can find such a person a lot of them say they can do it but fail imo

Do a lot of asking about word of mouth usually the key

Do a bit of pdr myself,if the dent is on a curve it could be quite difficult to take the dent out.

Hard to say without seeing it mate, it should only be a problem if its stretched the metal and im assuming it may have with the pace of a golf ball hitting it.

Any way you could have a word with the golf course about it or is it just one of those things and expected if you live nearby?
