Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for retrieving objects, and in particular, golf discs, at a distance beyond arm's reach. The retrieval systems and devices described herein are easily and quickly assembled and disassembled, and then readily fit into or on a disc golf bag or other sack or back pack. The systems, devices, and methods provide a clamping golf disc retriever for the retrieval of golf discs that are otherwise beyond reach. In certain approaches, the systems, devices, and methods described herein may include one or more multi-member extendable poles that can expand to achieve a length greater than the compacted length and an attaching gripping or clamping device whose jaws are employed to obtain a secure, positive, firm ensnarement of the golf disc.
