Abstract: A rake-like device for retrieving golf balls includes an elongate handle and a ball retriever that is made from a plurality of "U"-shaped tine members disposed in transversely spaced apart relation to one another. The open end of each tine faces the user of the device during the retrieving operation. A triangular structure is formed on the bottom part of each tine and serves to trap a retrieved golf ball. The handle is pivotally mounted to the retriever so that the device can be stored in a narrow space when not in use.
