Abstract: A golf ball retriever handle having a plurality of telescoping segments, each segment comprising a tubular member configured to fit relatively snugly about an adjacent member in sliding engagement therewith, each of the members between the smallest diameter member and the largest diameter member being formed with a radially extending annular rib in proximity to a first end thereof and being formed with a radially inward extending annular depression in proximity to a second end thereof, whereby separation of the tubular members in a handle extending direction is inhibited. The handle also having at least one axial groove formed in each section such that overlapping grooves engage each other to prevent rotation of one section with respect to another.

Abstract: A device for retrieving an object such as a golf ball. The retriever comprises a handle, a stationary member or loop that is rigidly attached to the handle, a reactive member or loop that is pivotally attached to the stationary member and a spring for biasing the reactive member substantially perpendicular to the stationary member. A locking clip is attached to the stationary member and is rotatable between a locking position and an unlocking position. In the locking position, the clip restrains the reactive member in a position substantially parallel to the stationary member so that the retriever can be stored without the reactive member rotating into the perpendicular position.

Abstract: The putter head has a front face with a heel and toe edge extending from the front face. Both the heel and toe surfaces have cavities extending from the outer surface toward a central wall that is perpendicular to the face of the putter to provide visual indication that the face is square to the intended putting line. Two semicircular cavities extend from the top surface of the putter and are separated by the central wall. Medallions on the upper surface of the putter sole are aligned with the semicircular cavities. In this matter, the semicircular holes and medallions give visual indication to the golfer that the placement of the putter relative to the green, the golfer's hand position relative to the club and the golfer's head position are correct.

Abstract: A flexible cover structure for enclosing and protecting a golf club bag during its handling and transport, the cover structure including a flexible cover member and a rigid base member having dual spaced-apart rollers and pedestals, and including multiple elongated skid rails provided at the base member lower rear side. The cover structure is provided with dual detachable bags each centrally located along opposite sides of the cover member by a continuous zipper. The detachable bags are each provided with a main inner compartment containing a foldable handle and closable by have a zipper fastener extending around the bags upper peripheral edges, a secondary inner compartment provided in the bag forward portion, and a front pocket closable by a zipper.

Abstract: A flexible cover structure for enclosing and protecting a golf club bag during its handling and transport, the cover structure including a cover member and a rigid base member having dual spaced-apart rollers and support pedestals, and including elongated skid bumper rails attached to and extending along its lower back side. The cover structure includes a detachable bag or backpack unit located at the lower front side of the cover structure and removably attached by a zipper. The detachable bag unit has a main inner compartment closable by a zipper extending across its opposite sides and upper portion, a secondary inner compartment closable by a zipper, and a front pocket closable by a zipper. The backpack unit has dual shoulder straps provided on its rear side for convenient use by a golfer and hiker.
