  • Patent number: 5109617
    Abstract: An accessory for attachment to a golf shoe provides for smoothing out depressions in golf course sand traps. The accessory comprises a small rake mounted transverse to the shoe and rearward of the heel. The mounting may include a pivot allowing adjustment of the rake from a lowered position in raking contact with the ground to a raised position clear of the ground. A manually adjustable lock for the pivot permits securing the rake selectively in lowered or raised position. The mounting is held to the shoe by one or more prongs drive-fitted into the heel or by a spur assembly encircling the heel and strapped to the shoe.
