Abstract
A golf club tool and method, the golf club tool comprises a tool body defining a hollow body interior that continuously connects an open first body end to an enclosed second body end, the hollow body interior is configured to removably receive and partially encapsulate a top portion of a golf club; the enclosed second body end removably supports a golf ball marker and further pivotally mounts a multi-prong fork; and the multi-prong fork is further configured to have a removable engagement with a golf ball.
Claims20
A golf club tool comprising:
- (A) a tool body defining a hollow body interior that continuously connects an open first body end to an enclosed second body end;
- (B) the hollow body interior further configured to removably receive and partially encapsulate a top portion of a golf club;
- and (C), an enclosed second body end removably attaches to a golf ball marker and pivotally attaches to a multi-prong fork;
- the multi-prong fork is further configured to have removable engagement with a golf ball, the multi-prong fork further moves between a storage position, wherein the multi-prong fork is laid against the tool body and perpendicular to the enclosed second body, a first operating position, wherein the multi-prong fork projects outward and parallel from enclosed second body end and perpendicular to the tool body, and a second operating position, wherein the multi-prong fork projects outward and perpendicularly from enclosed second body end and parallel to the tool body, wherein the first operating position allows the golf ball marker to come into movable contact with a ground to remove the golf ball marker from the top of the enclosed second body end.

A method of operating a golf club tool comprising the following steps, but not necessarily in the order shown:
- (A) providing a golf club tool comprising a tool body defining a hollow body interior that continuously connects to an open first body end to an enclosed second body end, the hollow body interior removably receives and partially encapsulates a top portion of a golf club;
- the enclosed second body end removably attaches to a golf ball marker placed on top of the enclosed second body end and further pivotally supports a multi-prong fork;
- the multi-prong fork is further configured to have a removable engagement with a golf ball, the multi-prong fork further moves between a storage position, wherein the multi-prong fork is laid against the tool body and perpendicular to the enclosed second body, a first operating position, wherein the multi-prong fork projects outward and parallel from enclosed second body end and perpendicular to the tool body, and a second operating position, wherein the multi-prong fork projects outward and perpendicularly from enclosed second body end and parallel to the tool body, wherein the first operating position allows the golf ball marker to come into movable contact with a ground to remove the golf ball marker from the enclosed second body end;
- (B) providing the golf club comprising a golf club head, a golf club shaft having a first shaft end and a second shaft end, and a golf club handle, wherein the golf club head attaches to the first shaft end while golf club handle encompasses the second shaft end to denote the top portion of the golf club;
- (C) removably inserting the top portion of the golf club within the hollow body interior to form a golf tool-golf club combination;
- (D) pivoting the multi-prong fork;
- and (E) removably engaging the golf ball with the multi-prong fork.

A golf club-golf club tool combination comprising:
- (A) the golf tool having a tool body that forms a hollow interior that connects a first open body end with a second enclosed body end, the second enclosed body end comprises a removably attached golf ball marker, a pivotally attached multi-prong fork, and a compression retention device for removably holding a portion of a golf club handle within the hollow body interior;
- the multi-prong fork further moves between a storage position, wherein the multi-prong fork is laid against the tool body and perpendicular to the second enclosed body end, a first operating position, wherein the multi-prong fork projects outward and parallel from the second enclosed body end and perpendicular to the tool body, and a second operating position, wherein the multi-prong fork projects outward and perpendicularly from the second enclosed body end and parallel to the tool body, wherein the first operating position allows the golf ball marker to come into movable contact with a ground to remove the golf ball marker from the second enclosed body end;
- (B) the golf club comprising a golf head, a golf club shaft having a first shaft end and a second shaft end, and a golf club handle, the golf club head attaches to the first shaft end while golf club handle encompasses the second shaft end;
- wherein the hollow interior removably receives at least of a portion of the golf club handle.
