Multi-functional golf tool

Abstract

An improved multi-functional golf tool having a handle portion formed at its proximal end, and a pair of prongs formed at its distal end and disposed in angular relation with the handle to facilitate the pivotal movement of the golf tool in repairing ball marks or other irregularities on the playing turf, and further providing pivotal leverage when the tool is reversed to aid in removing tees embedded in the ground is disclosed. The handle portion includes a top adapted to removably receive a ball mark. The handle includes a top side that defines a longitudinally aligned, generally U-shaped structure disposed at the handle distal end thereof approximately mid-length on the device that serves multiple functions, such as a thumb-rest, cigar holder, and club grip holder. In a corresponding position on the bottom side of the device a contoured surface runs in a transverse direction thereby providing a comfortable support for the user's index finger. The proximal end of the handle includes a projecting tab that functions as a club face scraper for removing dirt and debris, as well functioning as an opening tool for use with ring-pull tab opening mechanisms commonly found on aluminum drinking cans. The projecting tab further includes opposing left and right thin edge projections that function as clubface groove cleaning structures. Alternate embodiments including a belt clip holder and hat visor clip holder are also disclosed.
