Abstract: A golf ball retriever having a plurality of resilient, ball-pinching disks secured to a rotating central axle. The axle is supported at opposite ends by the opposed end portions of a “U”-shaped frame attached to an extendable handle, forming a rake-like device. The disks are octagonal in shape, uniformly sized and aligned so as to provide traction during the retrieving action. The disks are spaced along the axle, forming ball-receiving cavities for gripping golf balls for retrieval from a hazard. The threaded axle holds the adjustably spaced disks by pairs of retaining nuts and washers, the width being adjusted to the size of differing golf balls. In a preferred form, at least four disks are provided, defining three ball-receiving spaces.
