Abstract: A golf ball retriever incorporates a looped structure to hold the golf ball for retrieval and structure to extend the looped structure from a golf club. The extending structure defines an opening for a golf club head and an opening for a golf club shaft. It includes an elongated arm between the looped structure and the golf club head opening and another elongated arm between the golf club head opening and the golf club shaft opening. The opening for the golf ball is deformable for grasping the ball, and such grasping is facilitated by a deformable extension of the golf ball opening substantially in the shape of a slot. The golf ball retriever is integrally formed of a semi-rigid plastic material.
