Basically you poke the fork bits into the ground next to the divot at an angle and then push down to raise the divot.

Oh! Would have thought that would require longer tines, but I've never golfed, guess the divots are smaller than I imagined.

They're pretty much used to keep the green from having a bunch of impact craters all over it. The ball coming down from a high angle can leave a decent dent in the ground.
