Abstract: A golf putter is provided having a putter head with a bore therein capable of affixing to a golf ball and lifting it without the golfer having to bend over to pick it up from the ground and in particular capable of retrieving the ball resting at the bottom of a cup. The putter shaft contains a vertical portion at the shaft connection to the head dimensioned to lower the head into the cup. The combination of head size and orientation of the head to the shaft permits the successful removal of the golf ball from its resting position within the cup.
