ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tool for golfers, and more specifically relates to a tool providing for divot repair and providing for height indexing insertion of a golf tee.
A wide variety of golfing tools have been developed. These include divot repair forks and the like. The present invention is advantageous in that it provides a divot repair tool while also providing a device for insertion of the golf tee. The device for insertion of a golf tee allows for systematic and consistent insertion of a golf tee to a consistent height, thereby facilitating the consistency of a player's golf game. It further facilitates insertion of a golf tee by affording additional surface area which may be helpful in inserting the golf tee into hard soil.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention is set forth in the claims, the following merely identifying several features which may or may not be included in the invention. The invention comprises a golfer's tool. It may include a divot repair tool, such as a fork having a pair of prongs. It also may include a golf tee head engagement member for engaging the head of a golf tee. This engagement member may be used to apply an axially downward force to insert the tee into the ground. The engagement member preferably is a distance from the surface of the device which contacts the ground to provide indexing of the height of the golf tee above the ground. The invention may include a yoke for receiving the half of the golf tee in a position beneath the golf tee head engagement member.
One object of the present invention is to provide an improved golfer's tool. This and other objects are set forth in the following specification and drawings.
