    Yeah, basically the Swiss Army Knife version of the divot tool.

    The version below is pretty common, a golf bag should never be without one. Though, I have seen people use keys instead.

          Oh! Would have thought that would require longer tines, but I’ve never golfed, guess the divots are smaller than I imagined.

            They’re pretty much used to keep the green from having a bunch of impact craters all over it. The ball coming down from a high angle can leave a decent dent in the ground.

              I always thought of the patch of grass ripped out by the club when driving the ball. Always wondered how those short prongs would fix that big of a patch. TIL
