The divot repair tool is a forked blade that is used in the game of golf. Its purpose is to ease and repair a divot/small dent, in the grass made by a ball when it lands on the putting green. This is done by inserting the tool under the dent and gently easing up the earth. These tools are mounted in the body of a Swiss Army Knife (or other golf specific tools) and come in a few models and sizes.
Note: A commonly held misconception is that these tools are used to repair the large clump of earth removed by a golf club head on the fairway. This is not the case! For this situation the divot is replaced in the hole and tamped down with the foot!
