Dude divots are good but only bec I'm a natural digger.
Do you have bacon divots or pork chop divots? U can tell a person swing path by their divots.
I'm also an early caster and don't want to do it mechanically I just want to hit swing and POWWWW minus the actual yelling. Been a battle for me.
Do the tip of Matt above, don't worry about divots or fear of dirt. Just do your normal improvised swing and you might be surprised with the results.
Superintendent of your course might complain bec there's are now divots so deep a small child can shelter in:)
