A golf club has a device for the alternate picking up and simultaneous
placing down of a marker on the green or respectively the placing down of
a golf ball through the intermediary of a mechanical pivotal mechanism,
wherein both the picking up of the ball and the simultaneous placing of
the marker as well as the placing of the ball and the picking up of the
marker from the green is effected by the player whilst in a substantially
standing position. By the mechanical pivotal mechanism being formed by a
pivotally mounted rocker for the alternate picking up of ball and marker
and the picking up and placing down of the marker being effected in a
guided manner, the ball is picked up and the marker simultaneous placed
down or respectively the ball is placed and the marker picked up in a
correct manner without the player needing to bend down.
