Well that's definitely not what I expected. I got this as a gift for working at a company making electrical panels. Thank you!
The CEO thought it was a great gift for everyone because he is always golfing.
Maybe it's a hint for OP to show up at the golf course, befriend the CEO and get golf-buddy promoted.
Yeah, basically the Swiss Army Knife version of the divot tool.
The version below is pretty common, a golf bag should never be without one. Though, I have seen people use keys instead.
I knew it was a divot tool, but how do you use one?
Basically you poke the fork bits into the ground next to the divot at an angle and then push down to raise the divot.
Oh! Would have thought that would require longer tines, but I've never golfed, guess the divots are smaller than I imagined.
They're pretty much used to keep the green from having a bunch of impact craters all over it. The ball coming down from a high angle can leave a decent dent in the ground.
I always thought of the patch of grass ripped out by the club when driving the ball. Always wondered how those short prongs would fix that big of a patch. TIL
I was literally about to say that lol xD
Hahaha that's amazing! Maybe it's time to set up a putting green at work.
The one to the top is for fixing divots on a golf course. The prongs to the bottom are for screwing/unscrwwing golf cleets on shoes.
And the white thing on the left side is a magnetic ball marker.
It will help you fix divots in the grass
I think that's a multitool for golfing. You can fix divots in the grass, replace cleats on golf shoes, clean them up, etc.
It's a knife, what looks like a fork, and (by process of elimination) the other must be a spoon!
