Handle holder apparatus and method
A handle holder apparatus and method includes a first holder with a top and a bottom and an inside and an outside and a first dimension. A second holder is provided where the second holder includes a top and a bottom and an inside and an outside and a second dimension where the second dimension is smaller than the first dimension of the first holder and where the second holder is connected to the first holder on the inside of the first holder and where the second holder is configured to removably retain a handle on the inside of the second holder. Further, the bottom of the second holder extends beyond the bottom of the first holder.
Debris Removal Apparatus, Systems, and Methods of Using the Same
Debris removal apparatus, systems, and methods of using the same are described. An example debris removal apparatus includes a shaft, an energy source, a motor, a fan attached to the motor, and a switch. The shaft has a lengthwise axis, a first end, a second end, a first portion, a second portion, a third portion and defines an opening on the second end, a passageway in fluid communication with the opening, and a plurality of inlet openings on the third portion of the shaft in fluid communication with the passageway. The motor is operatively connected to the energy source and disposed between the plurality of inlet openings and the second end of the shaft. The motor has a lengthwise axis extending through a drive shaft. The lengthwise axis of the motor is parallel to the lengthwise axis of the shaft. The switch is operatively connected to the motor.

Raking device and method
This disclosure relates to a raking device, and in some implementations, a detachable rake head for raking sand traps and its method of use. The raking device may be configured to be releasably attached to a supporting handle (e.g., a broom handle, 5 golf club, golf ball retriever, or other rod-typed structure).
Modified Putter Grip
A two-piece putter grip is provided wherein a divot repair tool and ball marker are incorporated into the removable end of the putter grip. The putter grip encompasses two separate interlocking parts, (a) a lower section which is permanently attached to the putter and (b) a removable upper section which contains both the divot repair tool and the ball marker. The removable upper section attaches to the permanent lower section using a mating system to firmly attach to the lower section, while allowing the removable upper portion to be readily removed for use in repairing divots on the green. A ball marker is attached to this removable upper portion in such a way as to be readily available to the golfer for use in marking the golf ball position on the green.

COUNTER-ROTATING DIVOT REPAIR APPARATUS
A counter-rotating divot repair apparatus includes counter-rotating handles coupled to a tang of a head member. The head member includes a pair of tine members projected anteriorly from the tang along parallel or substantially parallel axes bounding an intermediary space. In the closed position, the head member is concealable inside channels disposed along interior edges of the handles. Manipulation of the apparatus to an open position counter-rotates each of the pair of handles 180? whereby the head member is revealed projected anteriorly therefrom. As a result, the apparatus is deployable between the open and closed positions onehandedly.

GOLF TOOL DEVICES
Golf tool devices and golf clubs having those devices attached to, or incorporated with, their grips are disclosed. In some embodiments, the golf tool device includes a housing and a tool assembly attached to the housing. The tool assembly includes a base jaw and a gripper jaw pivotably connected to the base jaw. The tool assembly additionally includes a spring connected to the gripper jaw and configured to urge the gripper jaw toward the base jaw. The golf tool device additionally includes a mode selector assembly configured to selectively switch operation of the gripper jaw between at least two modes. The at least two modes include a first mode in which the gripper jaw moves in response to urging of the spring, and a second mode in which the gripper jaw is secured in a first position that is spaced away from the base jaw against urging of the spring.
