Claim:
1. A pitch mark repair device comprising an elongate body adapted for insertion into the ground in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body; at least one arm mounted to the body at or adjacent a first end of the arm in a manner which enables the arm to be displaceable between a retracted position in which a free second end of the arm is disposed downstream of the first end with respect to the direction of insertion, through an intermediate position in response to withdrawal of the device from the ground in which the arm projects substantially normally to the direction of insertion to allow the arm to engage and grip the surrounding ground, to an extended position in response to the continued withdrawal of the device from the ground in which the second end is disposed upstream of the first end with respect to the direction of insertion, wherein a tip of the free second end projects outwardly of an outer surface of the body when the arm is the retracted position to facilitate movement of the arm from the retracted position to the intermediate position.
