A divot repair tool comprises a cylindrical housing having at least one helical groove located on the inside wall of an axial bore of the housing. The blade is stored within the axial bore of the housing by mechanical cooperation with the grooves such that the blade projects and retracts from the housing as it is turned. The divot repair tool is preferably rigidly affixed within a golf club shaft at the handle end and the blade is rotated by a knob which includes a slot through which the blade extends and retracts.
