Device for repairing pitch marks

A device for repairing pitch marks, which can be attached to a golf club, the device comprising:

• an end section with a cylindrical body, a spring and a pitchfork;
• a gripping section, wherein the end section projects from the gripping section in an axial direction,
• wherein the pitchfork has at least one prong and is mounted on the cylindrical body by means of a slot in the cylindrical body and a pin in the pitchfork such that the pitchfork is movable axially over an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body and the pin is not fixed in a single position relative to the golf club,
• wherein the pitchfork can be fixed on the cylindrical body by means of the slot and pin in a retracted position and in an extended position,
• wherein, in the retracted position, the pitchfork rests against the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body and the spring is in a compressed state within the cylindrical body, and
• wherein, in the extended position, the at least one prong projects beyond the cylindrical body in the axial direction and the spring is in an elongated state within the cylindrical body;
• and
• a clamping section, wherein the clamping section can be inserted into a tubular shaft or grip of the golf club, wherein the clamping section projects from the gripping section in a direction opposite to the axial direction,
• wherein at least one of the clamping section or an insert on which the clamping section is provided has an essentially cylindrical shape at least in sections and comprises radially projecting clamping lugs, by means of which the clamping section can be clamped into the golf club, and
• wherein each of the clamping lugs has a steeper side in the axial direction than in the opposite direction.
