An implement for repairing ball marks on golf greens, the implement having a grasping portion at a proximal end and at least one prong at a distal end with a ramp-like profile ending in a transversely oriented abutment in a mediate region. The abutment provides a surface against which an index finger of a user can rest to apply increased pressure to insert the implement into a golf green. The method of using the implement includes inserting the implement adjacent the ball mark and moving turf laterally. In those instances where insertion of the ramp-like prong or prongs is insufficient to repair the damage of the ball mark, the method further includes rocking the implement about the distal end to move the turf laterally.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An implement for repairing ball marks in a golf green, the implement comprising:a. a body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a mediate region therebetween;b. a grasping portion at the proximal end;c. at least one prong at the distal end, the at least one prong having a ramp-like cross section with a maximum thickness greater than the thickness of the grasping portion; andd. abutment means located on the body in the mediate region for providing a transversely oriented surface to enable increased pressure to be applied to the at least one prong upon insertion of the implement into a damaged portion of the golf green.
