A multipurpose golf tool comprising:
- an elongated generally flat body section having a top, two vertical sides and a bottom, a pair of generally irregularly shaped legs extending downwardly and slightly angled apart from one another and connected to the bottom of said body section, one of said legs terminating in a foot having a toe pointing away from the other leg to form a spike hole reamer, said other leg having a width greater than said one leg and terminating in a beveled concave end for cleaning debris from a spike and repair ball marks on the greens, said pair of legs joining at an arch at the bottom of said body section and providing a means of leveraging a buried tee out of the ground as the tee slides between the angled legs toward said arch, a straight beveled edge extending approximately the vertical length of one side of the body section and terminating in rounded corners at either end thereof for cleaning the golf club face and its grooves therein, respectively, a pair of tee shaped indentations in line with one another in a generally horizontal arrangement across said body section for engaging the head and a portion of the tapered shank of a tee for placing it into the ground despite the hardness of the ground at the tee box and for placing the tee head and the golf ball at a consistent and predetermined height above the ground for a tee shot, a spike wrench having a pair of spaced apart shoulders on the generally upper fight hand portion of the body section extending outwardly from the side opposite said straight beveled edge in a direction generally perpendicular to said legs, a pair of protrusions on the outermost ends of each shoulder to accommodate holes in the base of golf spikes, said shoulders having a spike cavity therebetween extending into the body section so that the golfer achieves leverage between the spike wrench protrusions in the spike holes and the legs when twisting on or off the spike in the golf shoe, a pop top tab grabber located in the upper right hand corner of the body section having a finger extending in an are toward the upper shoulder and spike wrench protrusion for pulling pop top tabs off a beverage can without touching a digit on the golfer hand, a bottle opener on the upper left hand corner having a blunted protrusion extending in the direction of the finger ending in a hook for pulling off a bottle cap and a swale between the bottle opener and grabber having a generally concave shape for receiving a club grip therein when the legs are placed into the ground to hold the body section in a generally perpendicular alignment to the ground.
