A golf ball mark green repair tool system including a mechanical ball mark repair tool integrated into a putter handle. The device provides golfers with a ball mark repair tool, installed directly into a putter, to ensure ball marks are repaired in an effective manner. The apparatus includes a repair tool assembly including a top plate having a series of apertures, a cylindrical base including a first-end, a second-end, a canister, a spring mechanism, a prong-unit having at least one prong working in combination. It utilizes the prong-unit dispensing from the tool, entering the ground and pushing the ball mark inward, moving turf back into its proper location.
