A golf pitch mark repairer (101) is adapted to be removably retained on an extremity of a golf club, thereby allowing a golfer to utilize the reach afforded by the golf club to facilitate repair of the pitch mark. The pitch mark repairer (101) comprises a sleeve (103) for receiving the golf club extremity, and a retaining mechanism in the form of resilient tabs (111a, 111b) adapted to resist movement of the golf club relative to the pitch mark repairer (101). The golf club extremity is inserted with a sliding collar (117) positioned towards closed end (105) of sleeve (103). The sleeve (103) comprises windows (116a, 116b) through which respective portions of resilient tabs (111a, 111b) are urged to protrude outwardly when the golf club extremity is inserted. Thereafter the sliding collar (117) is engaged by sliding it along the sleeve (103) towards its open end (107). This acts to urge tabs (111a, 111b), and in particular respective valley portions (114a, 114b) thereof, into tighter engagement with the putter handle, resulting in a strong grip on the putter handle.

The invention claimed is: 1. A golf pitch mark repairer for repairing a pitch mark left by a golf ball after landing on a green, the pitch mark repairer being adapted to be removably retained on an extremity of a golf club, thereby allowing a golfer to utilise the reach afforded by the golf club to facilitate repair of the pitch mark using the pitch mark repairer, comprising a sleeve for receiving the golf club extremity and a retaining mechanism adapted to resist movement of the golf club relative to the pitch mark repairer, the retaining mechanism comprising a resilient tab adapted and arranged to urge against the golf club extremity when the golf club extremity is inserted into the sleeve, and wherein the sleeve comprises a window through which a portion of the resilient tab is urged to protrude outwardly when the golf club extremity is inserted. 2. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the resilient tab comprises a portion adapted and arranged to present an angled surface to the golf club extremity as it is inserted into the sleeve, thereby urging the resilient tab outwards. 3. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a sliding collar at least partly surrounding the sleeve that is slidable from a first position along the sleeve, in which the portion is able so to protrude when the golf club extremity is inserted, to a second position along the sleeve in which the sliding collar acts to urge the protruding portion back inwardly, thereby increasing a retaining force of the resilient tab on the golf club extremity when the sliding collar is in the second position. 4. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the resilient tab and window are mutually formed from a wall of the sleeve. 5. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the resilient tab comprises an curved-shape gripping portion. 6. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the resilient tab is an elongate tab facing substantially along the length of the sleeve. 7. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 6, wherein the resilient tab is fixed at one end thereof and free at the other. 8. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 7, wherein the resilient tab comprises a portion adapted and arranged to present an angled surface to the golf club extremity as it is inserted into the sleeve, thereby urging the resilient tab outwards, and wherein the angled surface is provided towards the free end. 9. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 6, wherein the resilient tab is fixed at both ends thereof. 10. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 6, wherein at least one end of the resilient tab is fixed to or emanates from a side wall of the sleeve. 11. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, comprising two or more such resilient tabs. 12. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 11, wherein the two or more resilient tabs are arranged in an opposing fashion. 13. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 11, comprising such a window corresponding to each resilient tab, and a portion of each resilient tab being urged to protrude outwardly through its corresponding window when the golf club extremity is inserted. 14. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sleeve is shaped at least internally to correspond at least to some degree to the shape of the golf club extremity. 15. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the golf club extremity is an end portion of the golf club handle. 16. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the golf club is a putter. 17. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sleeve has an open end and a closed end, the open end being for receiving the golf club extremity. 18. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 17, wherein the sleeve is substantially enclosed except at its open end. 19. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sleeve has an enclosed cross section along at least part of its length. 20. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 19, wherein at least an open end of the sleeve for receiving the golf club extremity has an enclosed cross section. 21. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein an open end of the sleeve for receiving the golf club extremity is substantially resilient to moderate outward radial forces applied at any point on its cross section, such as those forces applied when inserting the golf club extremity into the sleeve. 22. A golf pitch mark repairer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sleeve is adapted when at rest to present an opening at least as large as a cross section of the golf club extremity.
