A liner cup 2 can be removed from a golf hole 1 by a tool with a shaft 6 and wedge-shaped member 9 pivoted on arms 8 extending radially from the shaft so that members 9 pivot upwards and inwards as the shaft is positioned in the cup (by placing nose 6a into the conventional bottom recess) and pivot outwards to frictionally grip by their curved outer edges 9a the cup surface as the shaft is pulled up, thereby removing the cup 2 from the ground. in wet weather the tool includes a saucer 11 which is shiftable, via a sleeve 12, toward or away from the members 9. During insertion of the shaft 6 into the hole, handles 7a and 14a are gripped thereby withdrawing, through a link 13, the sleeve 12 and saucer 11 to allow members 9 to pivot upwards. Thereafter handles 7 and 14b are gripped instead to shift sleeve 12 and saucer 11 to forcibly abut members 9, thereby maintaining their outward pivoting motion and frictional grip of the liner for its removal. <IMAGE> |
