Abstract
A tool for use in the game of golf, comprised of a polygonal prongs along with a radiused edge, which is used to remove ball marks such as indentions and ridges from golf ground surfaces. These ball marks are formed when the ball impacts the ground surface. The tool additionally incorporates a case for the carrying of small objects. These small objects include a moistened sponge or similar material to clean golf balls or club heads. A substantially leak-proof engagement between the body and the cover of the case allows the sponge or similar material to remain moist over extended periods of time, thus prolonging the material's cleaning capability.
