Abstract

The invention is a device for repairing golf ball marks. The device (200) comprises a pin (203), a base (201) and three or more prongs (202) which are fixed to the base and ex- tend in an opposite direction to the pin. The tips of the prongs are sloped. The inner sides (205) of the prongs form a round shape in such a way that the inner edge of the slope part is a sharp protuberance (212). This protuberance is found at the thickest part of the prong. The device is pushed into the soil in such a way that the prongs surround the ball- mark. The inner sides of the prongs shift soil towards the centre of the ball-mark and the protuberance loosens the soil when the device is inserted into the soil. After that the soil is tamped down with, for example, a golf club to even out the putting surface.
