A roller assembly for smoothing an expanse of granular media such as golf bunker sand, snow, horse race track dirt, or other media. The assembly has one or more rollers having a longitudinal axis. Each roller includes wires spaced from the axis to define a roller surface. Each wire is resiliently flexible to distort inwardly in response to force of contact on, and to recover during release of force from, the granular media as the roller rotates about the axis on the granular media. A shaft extends along the axis of the roller assembly between the arms of a yoke with a handle extending therefrom. As the roller surface traverses the media, at least some of the media is flung outwardly of the roller, smoothing the expanse. The roller assembly may be manually operated or may be towed behind a towing apparatus.

The present apparatus includes a towel that is detachably connected to a clip and/or a marker. In various embodiments, the towel includes three layers: a first layer for cleaning, a second layer connected to the first layer, and a third layer that acts as moisture barrier between the first layer and the second layer. In some embodiments, the towel may be detachably connected to a clip via an embedded magnet, such that the towel may attach to a user's clothing for easy use.

A combination ball marker and alignment device has a base and an aiming device. The base has a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The base further has a ball contact side, disposed on a sidewall between the top and bottom surfaces, having a shape configured to contact a spherical ball along a surface line of the ball that is orthogonally oriented with a vertical axis of the ball, and an opposing back side disposed between the top and bottom surfaces. The aiming device includes a linear indicator. The aiming device is coupled to the base and configured to move along an arcuate path above the top surface. The arcuate path defines an axis rotation, and the linear indicator remains radially oriented to the axis of rotation regardless of the position of the aiming device on the arcuate path.

A golf ball mark green repair tool system including a mechanical ball mark repair tool integrated into a putter handle. The device provides golfers with a ball mark repair tool, installed directly into a putter, to ensure ball marks are repaired in an effective manner. The apparatus includes a repair tool assembly including a top plate having a series of apertures, a cylindrical base including a first-end, a second-end, a canister, a spring mechanism, a prong-unit having at least one prong working in combination. It utilizes the prong-unit dispensing from the tool, entering the ground and pushing the ball mark inward, moving turf back into its proper location.

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.

A sand trap rake includes an elongate rake head having a first, front end and a second, back end. The rake head defines a raking direction aligned with a direction extending from the first end to the second end. A plurality of tines are spaced apart along a longitudinal direction of the rake head, transverse to the raking direction. The rake further includes a first elongate smoothing member disposed forwardly from the first end of the rake head, and a second elongate smoothing member disposed rearwardly from the second end. Longitudinal extents of the first and second smoothing members are generally aligned with the longitudinal direction of the rake head. The rake may be used to repair a sand surface by pushing or pulling the rake head along the surface so that sand is directed through the tines and over at least one of the first or second smoothing members.
