ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed to enable a golfer to mark the position of their ball accurately during a game of golf and/or to replace the ball accurately at the marked position.
In one embodiment, the device comprises: a body which a user can place on the ground in abutment with the ball; a marker pin; and a magnet for releaseably attaching the pin to the body so that the pin projects downwardly, can be driven into the ground adjacent the golf ball and can be released from the device. The device may further include an element operable by the user when the body is on the ground to release the pin from the body so that the user can pick up the body leaving the pin in the ground. In another embodiment (not shown), an element like the element is operable by the user when the body is on the around to drive the pin downwardly into the ground. In a further embodiment, the marker pin can be attached to the device by user operable jaws, rather than by magnetic attraction.
