  • Patent number: 6095935
    Abstract: A turf repair system for repairing a damaged turf surface without the user having to bend over. The inventive device includes a shaft, a handle attached an end of the shaft, a stopper member attached to the shaft opposite of the handle, and a pair of prongs immovably attached to the stopper member. The stopper member preferably has a semi-spherical shape with a swaged surface adjacent the pair of prongs. The handle has a putter head shape for use as a conventional putter if desired. A length of gripping is preferably positioned about the shaft adjacent the stopper member. During use, the user grasps the handle or shaft and positions the prongs adjacent to the damaged area. The user then forces the prongs into the turf until the stopper member engages the turf. The user then twists and lifts the ends of the prongs thereby repairing the damaged area. When finished, the user may insert the prongs directly into the turf surrounding the green where it is self-standing until the user is finished with the hole.
