Abstract: An umbrella package is disclosed in which the umbrella is housed in a golf ball pick-up tube. A golf ball pick-up device may be already installed on the end of the tube, or housed therein as a separate component. The pick-up device is essentially a cylindrical element with an inwardly extending lip thereon past which a golf ball may be forced on its way into the tube. The umbrella in collapsed form is held within the tube by one or more end caps or pieces, sometimes in combination with a golf ball pick-up device, and even with the golf ball being part of the retaining mechanism.
