Abstract
A retractable golfer's divot tool comprising a housing, a divot tool slidable inside the housing, a spring connected between the housing and the divot tool and a locking mechanism to lock the divot tool in certain positions. The spring biases the divot tool to extend from the housing so that when the golfer presses a button member in the locking mechanism, the divot tool automatically extends from the housing. Once extended, the locking mechanism locks the divot tool in place allowing the golfer to repair the ball marks on the green. To retract the divot tool back into the housing, the golfer again presses the button member and manipulates a sliding lever to draw the divot tool back into the housing where the locking mechanism again locks the divot tool in place.
