Abstract: The invention is a golf positioning and retrieving device. The device includes a housing comprising a movable carrier, a biasing member coupled to the carrier, and a pair of opposed spoons pivotably connected to the carrier. The spoons include an open configuration and a closed configuration to selectively grasp or release an object, such as a golf ball and/or golf tee. A handle coupled to the housing includes a pair of triggers operatively connected to the carrier such that actuation of the trigger displaces the carrier against the biasing member, thereby moving the spoons between configurations. The device further includes a tripod selectively deployable by the second trigger to support the device in a freestanding orientation. The device allows a user to position a tee and ball, retrieve a ball from the ground or a cup, and remove a tee, without bending or stooping.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe programmatic generation of a user interface for display on a processing device. A display class is determined from a plurality of display classes based on a detected display size of a processing device on which the user interface is to display. Prior to instantiating a user interface window, a stored user interface definition is identified and interpreted. The stored user interface definition comprises at least one programmed command object. A displayed user interface is instantiated on the processing device, where the displayed user interface comprises at least one user interface element. The user interface element is programmatically generated by translating the programmed command object of the user interface definition into the user interface element based on operations set in accordance with the determined display class. Other examples are also described.
