About Gannet™
"The Gannet™ pitch mark repair tool was developed out of a desire to create something great; a tool that would empower the considerate golfer.
Since taking up golf as a boy I've always loved the sport. The Gannet™ pitch mark repair tool is a result of combining this love for golf with my desire to improve and invent. Golf for me has been a great lesson in many areas, and I believe in continuing the strong values which golf encourages - Honesty, integrity and consideration to others."

Gannet™ understands design
We design our products with how you play in mind.
​
The Gannet™ pitch mark repair tool is designed to help improve your pre- pre-shot routine (that wasn't a typo). Before you start your pre-shot routine it's helpful to have just repaired your pitch mark perfectly. It has a subtle and positive impact mentally before you start your pre-putt routine.
​
Then there's the compact fold away design, which aids in portability and prevents any discomfort whilst in your pocket. The button is larger in diameter than other "switch blade" style pitch repair tools. But what makes the function of Gannet™ unique is the patent pending fork position relative to the handle. Gripping the handle of the Gannet™ will align the fork with the axis of your forearm, allowing greater range of motion and more force to be applied to the ground if necessary. A knock-on positive effect of this is that your wrist no longer obscures your view to the pitch mark.
​
The Gannet™ has been subjected to months of testing in the harshest conditions on Turnberry Golf Club during all seasons (even winter, on sanded, wetter greens), and with Tour Professionals globally, before ever making it to your pocket, to ensure only the highest quality and durability is delivered.
​
A nod to Scotland and Turnberry Golf Club: Scotland is well known for creating pioneers and inventors. We hope to continue this tradition and create stunning innovations for years to come. I'm fortunate to be a member of Turnberry - home to one of the world's best golf courses - The Ailsa. The name Gannet™ was thought of during a stop at the half way house after the 9th hole - the famous Lighthouse. My friend and I were watching the gannets flying by as they regularly do. I've admired their elegant shape for years, and I thought what better creature to be inspired by for the brand and the aesthetics of the Gannet™ pitch repair tool.
Ergonomics
Comfort both in and out your pocket; the angled design of the Gannet™ allows for an improved line of sight, a greater range of motion during repair, and finally it promotes a more natural wrist position.
​
Functionality
The unique patent pending angle between the fork and the handle is the dramatic improvement here, so the repair is made easier. The button and fork spring are larger and more powerful, so the fork ejects instantly, and only when you need it to.
Durability
Dependable in the most severe weather conditions and comprised of corrosion resistant materials such as 440c stainless steel and anodised aluminium.
