In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the golf accessory device is comprised of a stake portion for insertion into the ground and/or repairing a ball mark or divot, a channel that is supported by said stake portion and that is useful for supporting a lit cigar or cigarette, and a punch for puncturing the end of a cigar to prepare the cigar to be enjoyed. The device enables a golfer to prepare his or her cigar during a round of golf, temporarily store the same in an elevated position above the surface of the ground to avoid contamination and repair ball marks in the surface of the putting green.
Description
- This application claims priority from Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/621,141 filed on Apr. 6, 2012.
- This invention relates to a combination golf accessory device that functions as a cigar punch, a ball mark repair tool and a cigar/cigarette holder.
- Many golfers tend to enjoy a cigar or cigarette during a round of golf. However, once the cigar/cigarette is lit, there is typically no place for the golfer to store the same while taking his or her golf shot. For example, it could be dangerous to store the lit cigar or cigarette on the golfers golf bag or golf cart, because it could damage the same. It is also undesirable to store the cigar/cigarette on the ground because it could become contaminated with the chemicals and pesticides that are typically used to treat many fairways and/or putting greens on golf courses, or other contaminants such as animal droppings, garbage and the like. It is particularly important to avoid contaminating the cigar or cigarette given that the golfer must then place the cigar or cigarette back in his or her mouth to enjoy the same.
- Additionally, when hitting a golf ball onto a putting green, many golfers will leave a hole or ball mark on the putting surface. Out of courtesy to other golfers and as a means of maintaining the overall appearance and integrity of the golf course, most golfers will repair ball marks with a separate ball mark repair tool before continuing on with their game. While tools exist for repairing said ball marks, there currently is no known combination device that functions as a cigar punch, cigar holder and a ball mark repair tool.
- Consequently, there is a long felt need in the art for a combination cigar holder/punch and ball mark repair tool that enables a golfer to both temporarily and safely store his or her lit cigar off of the ground and repair ball marks as the golfer enjoys a round of golf. There is also a long felt need for a combination golf accessory device that serves the additional function of a cigar punch that can be used to prepare a cigar to be smoked by puncturing the end of the cigar. Finally, there is a long felt need for a single device that accomplishes all of the forgoing objectives, and that is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and safe and easy to use.
- The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof.
