Abstract:
A turf cutting and handling system for the borehole of a golf green cup includes a generally cylindrical hollow barrel with a cutting edge disposed about a lower periphery of the barrel. A manually grippable handle allows the barrel to be drilled into a playing surface of the putting green, and an ejection port allows a cut plug of turf and soil to be removed from the cutting barrel after the cut plug has been moved from a cutting position to a removal position by means of an ejector plunger which is engaged with the lower rotationally sheared surface of the soil which is underlying the grassy portion of the cut plug.
