Whats this strange thing for?

[Graham]

I got this given to me a few years ago, and have never known what it is for, or what it does.

Any one any ideas?


.
It is solid metal.

.
The black plastic doesn't move or rotate.

.
The round thing is held inplace by a clip.

.

.

.

.
It is angled, not bent.

.
It is smaller than a bottle top.

.
A bottle top opener it is not.

I am clueless as to what it is, or what it does.

It is for golf, the little disc is for marking the position of your ball if you have to pick it up to allow other player to putt and the forked bit is for repairing the dents in the green when your ball lands on it.

Amazing,

I am gobsmacked.

Thanks,

Amazing what you can learn on a Landcruiser Forum! (Don't play golf, so would have never known).

Is this for real? Sounds incredibile. Is this a standard tool for all golfers? Do they always look like this, or is this the poor man's version?

Yep that's pretty much an essential for a golfist... I play.. Erm I mean I attack a small white ball in a field every so often. When your ball lands on the green it often leaves a pitch mark, which you are supposed to fix. This little guy does it lovely. If you've never seen a green on a good golf course, imagine your carpet, but smoother, cleaner and with a little hole in the middle!

I thought it might be a heavy duty Landy ball joint taper breaker!

If its for Land Rover, then it looks a little "over engineered".
