  • Patent number: 5368350
    Abstract: An improved multiple purpose golf ball retriever for retrieving golf balls from water hazards. The device comprises an elongated head which has a forward frame, upper frame, sliding rod and side frames. The elongated head can be permanently attached to a telescoping handle, adjusted in any position for use and storage in the golf bag and is accessible for retrieving when needed. The sliding rod which moves in angled sliding rod guides enables the golf ball retriever to capture the ball by going down over the ball. The retriever can be used as a rake in clear or out of view locations and from the top down when rocky, weedy or hazardous water areas restrict the raking action which provides the golf ball retriever with a large margin of error for capturing the golf ball from above or by raking.
