Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a green fork having golf markers. [Background technology]

[0002] Golf markers are used to mark the location of a golf ball to be picked up. Greens forks are also used to repair dents (called pitch marks, ball marks, etc.) that occur when a ball falls on the green. Greens forks are also called ball mark repair tools or divot repair tools. A tool that has both the functions of a golf marker and a greens fork (hereinafter referred to as a greens fork with a golf marker) is disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1 below.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3215250 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] A green fork with a golf marker can be used to mark the position of a golf ball. In this case, it is necessary to place the green fork with a golf marker near the golf ball, but the marker described in Patent Document 1 has a circular marker body, so when placing the green fork with a marker or picking it up, it may come into contact with the golf ball and cause the golf ball to move. If the fork is not replaced in its original position, a penalty will be incurred.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a green fork with a golf marker that allows the player to easily pick up or replace a golf ball. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a golf marker part having a notch cut into a circular arc shape, a band-shaped extension part that is integral with the golf marker part and extends linearly from a position facing the notch across the center; A claw portion formed at a tip of the extension portion; A linear groove passing through approximately the center position of the notch and approximately the center position in the width direction of the extension portion; It is a green fork with golf markers. Effect of the Invention

[0007] In the present invention, the golf marker part and the green fork are integrated, so there is no need to carry them separately. Also, since the golf marker part has a notch, it is easy to place it close to the golf ball. Furthermore, since a groove is formed, it is easy to know the direction you want to hit when putting. Note that the effects described here are not necessarily limited, and may be any of the effects described in this specification. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1A, 1B and 1C are a plan view, a bottom view and a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment.

[0010] The green fork with golf marker 1 according to one embodiment is generally plate-shaped, and has a golf marker portion 2 having a notch 3 cut into a portion of the disk in an arc shape. The arc 4 of the notch 3 has a shape similar to a portion of the arc on the surface of a golf ball. The golf marker portion 2 may have a polygonal shape other than a circle. In one embodiment, the golf marker portion 2 is smaller than the golf ball.

[0011] A strip-shaped extension portion 5 is formed integral with the golf marker portion 2, extending linearly from a position facing the notch 3 across the center position of the golf marker portion 2. A claw portion 6 is formed at the tip of the extension portion 5. In one embodiment, the extension portion 5 is shaped so that its width narrows toward the tip, and the tip serves as the claw portion 6 for cultivating grass. The shape of the claw portion 6 may be a two-claw configuration with a split tip, or the claw portion 6 may be curved upward. The claw portion 6 is used to repair dents on the green.

[0012] A linear groove 7 is formed passing through approximately the center of the notch 3 of the golf marker portion 2 and approximately the center in the width direction of the extension portion 5. In addition, other grooves 8a and 8b parallel to groove 7 are formed on both sides of groove 7 in the golf marker portion 2. Groove 7 and grooves 8a, 8b are each colored a predetermined color. These grooves may be colored in advance by painting them with paint, or they may be colored with an oil-based pen.

[0013] The back side of the surface on which the grooves 7, 8a, and 8b are formed is a flat surface. The green fork 1 with golf marker according to one embodiment is made of metal, for example, and the surface is treated with plating or the like. Materials other than metal, such as synthetic resin, may also be used, or a combination of metal and synthetic resin may also be used.

[0014] The green fork with golf marker 1 according to one embodiment is used so that the notch 3 of the golf marker portion 2 is located immediately behind the golf ball 10 on the green, as shown in Fig. 3. Because the notch 3 is formed, it becomes easy to place the green fork with golf marker 1 very close to the ball 10 when picking up the golf ball 10. Also, when replacing the golf ball 10, it becomes easy to place the golf ball 10 just in front of the notch 3 of the green fork with golf marker.

[0015] In the example shown in Fig. 3, three lines 11, 12a, and 12b are drawn around the golf ball 10 within a range of 180 degrees or 360 degrees. The line 11 is drawn at the position of the diameter of the golf ball 10, and the lines 12a and 12b are drawn parallel to the line 11 on both sides of the line 11. One of the reasons for drawing the lines on the golf ball 10 is to improve the directionality of the putt and reduce missed putts by accurately aiming the lines at the target. By reliably setting the direction in which the golf ball is hit in the correct direction, the probability of the ball going in the cup can be increased.

[0016] The intervals between the grooves 7, 8a, and 8b formed in the green fork 1 with golf marker according to the embodiment are the same as the intervals between the lines 11, 12a, and 12b drawn on the golf ball 10. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 3, the ball 10 can be replaced so that the groove 7 and the line 11 are substantially aligned, the groove 8a and the line 12a are substantially aligned, and the groove 8b and the line 12b are substantially aligned.

[0017] In this way, the lines 11, 12a, and 12b are extended, so that the lines are effectively longer, and the effect of the lines can be enhanced. If the corresponding lines and grooves are the same color, the effect of the lines can be further enhanced.

[0018] A golf line marker is used to write lines on the golf ball 10. For example, the lines 11, 12a, and 12b can be written by a template-type golf line marker. By matching the specifications of the golf line marker with the spacing values ​​of the grooves 7, 8a, and 8b of the green fork 1 with golf marker, the grooves 7, 8a, and 8b can be aligned with the lines 11, 12a, and 12b in a substantially straight line, as described above. Furthermore, when placing the green fork 1 with golf marker to pick up the golf ball 10, the grooves 7 can be aligned to indicate the putting line that has been read in advance, thereby increasing the probability of the ball going in the cup.

[0019] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications based on the technical idea of ​​the present invention are possible. The configurations, methods, steps, shapes, materials, and values ​​given in the above embodiment are merely examples, and different configurations, methods, steps, shapes, materials, and values ​​may be used as necessary.
