Claim:
1. A golf green repair tool comprise of a cap, a spring, a sleeve, a housing, a handle, a plurality of tines and a plurality of spears; the plurality of spears are affixed to a lower surface of the cap about a center; the plurality of tines are affixed to the lower surface of the cap annularly around the plurality of spears; the spears and tines are perpendicular to the lower surface of the cap; the spring on an upper end seats against the lower surface of the cap extending perpendicular to the lower surface of the cap; the housing is cylindrical and an upper end is affixed around a periphery of the lower side of the cap; the sleeve is dimensioned to slidably fit inside the housing; the spring on a lower end seats against a base of the sleeve and biases the sleeve away from the cap; a first rim on the lower edge of the housing engages a rim on the upper edge of the sleeve preventing the sleeve from separating from the housing; when the spring is uncompressed the spears are substantially withdrawn into an interior bounded by the cap and base of the sleeve; the base of sleeve is planar and has a plurality of apertures commensurate with the number of tines and spears that are positioned one each corresponding to the spears and tines; when the spring is compressed the rim on the upper edge of the sleeves moves to seat against the bottom surface of the cap thereby exposing the length of the spears and tines only linearly perpendicular to the base of the sleeve; the tines each have a tapered tip on a lower end; the spears each have a conical barbed tip below a tapered lower side.
