  • Patent number: 5899511
    Abstract: An elongate ball-retrieving device adapted for being connected in an end-to-end relationship with the handle end of a golf club, such that the golf club, when moved into a substantially aligned relationship with the elongate device, can advantageously serve to increase the effective length of the ball-retrieving device. One end of the elongate device is equipped with a cup usable for retrieving a golf ball lodged in a relatively inaccessible location, with the end of the elongate device opposite the cup having an upwardly-opening handle-receiving chamber bounded by a closely spaced pair of inwardly biased, handle-contacting fingers. These fingers are of resilient construction, with the spacing between the pair of fingers being less than the width of the handle to be received therebetween.

  • Patent number: 5230385
    Abstract: A rake head attachment for raking the sand of a trap, designed for being removably mounted upon the grip of the shaft of a golf club. This rake head attachment comprises an elongate support member, from a lower portion of which a plurality of rake teeth extend substantially perpendicularly downwardly in a coplanar array. The upper portion of the support member is enlarged, with a handle-receiving socket defined in a central part thereof, with the central axis of the socket being generally perpendicular to the plane of the teeth. The socket has elongate members of springy, flexible material of sufficient length as to collectively define a socket of sufficient depth as to tightly and firmly receive a substantial portion of the end of the grip. The members close around the end of the inserted grip so as to grasp such end sufficiently tightly as to enable the rake teeth of the attachment to be pulled through the sand of the trap.
