Abstract

A hand-held rake for golfers is made with a head having two portions one of which can pivot about the shaft of the rake from a working position in which it forms a continuation of the other head portion to a stowage position in which the head portions are in overlying relationship with their tines oppositely directed. The rake when stowed thus has the form of a golf club. The tines of each head portion can be arranged such that when the head portions overlie each other, the ends of the tines of each head portion lie shielded within the outline of the other head portion which facilitate handling of the rake.
