Abstract: A weeder for removing weeds in a golf course or the like has: a body to be moved along a ground surface; a weeding unit arranged such that a first winding transmission member mounted on the body has weed fetch rods arranged at predetermined intervals; a drive unit for driving the first winding transmission member; and a gripping unit consisting of a second winding transmission member brought into contact with the weeding unit mounted on the body, whereby a lowest contact line between the weeding unit and the gripping unit is defined as a start line of a contact start plane, and the start line is located in the vicinity of the ground surface. Cutters are mounted on each weed fetch rod of the weeding unit in a comb-like manner. The top of each cutter is located inside the top of the weed fetch rod when the weed fetch rod is rectilinearly moved. However, when the weed fetch rod is moved along an arcuated locus, the top of each cutter extends outside the top of the weed fetch rod.
