Usually when I see the guys on the course whipping out their little switch-forks (automatic pitchforks), I can't help but laugh. I always thought to myself, "wow, how fancy." I didn't realize that I'd quickly join the ranks of those I was laughing at...
I'm a huge fan of repairing pitch marks and divots. I used to walk around with my pitchfork in my pocket. But all of the pitchforks I have had one common problem: they result in me walking around with an object containing two sharp pointy protrusions that always seems to find its way to jabbing me in the thigh or leg a countless number of times during a single round.
Ever seen what a brown recluse bite looks like? Probably an awful lot like having infected pitchfork wounds from bending over to pick your ball up after holing out. Nothing ruins a birdie like a jab to the thigh..
Since i received this item, I gave it a whirl. Walked around with it in my pocket on the course, played some holes - and left not feeling like I was having my leg chewed on by an infant vampire. Fantastic..
Not to mention, let's talk about quality. For the price, this thing is solid. It's well made, extremely sharp - and has a magnetic ball marker... For the first time ever, I have an ACTUAL ball marker instead of placing down a pretzel, peanut or coin.
Two wins in one product...
