Abstract
A combination tool for use in the game of golf includes both a green repair tool and watch or timepiece. The back of the timepiece is secured to the central portion of the tool, and the timepiece may be removed from the back for battery replacement or other work. Preferably, the timepiece is a wristwatch which includes insets in each side of the case for clearance for the ends of a wristband. The central portion of the tool provides holes underlying these insets for a keychain and ball marker retention. Thus, a golfer may leave other bulky articles such as keys, wallet, wristwatch, etc. behind in a clubhouse locker while out on the course, retaining only the tool of the present invention with a locker key. The tool may be carried easily in a pocket, where the golfer will have ready access to the tool to check the time as desired, mark a ball on the green, and/or use the tool for the minor repair of depressions in the green.
