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, rear frame, upper frame and side frames. The elongated head's handle mount can be permanently attached to a telescoping handle. The telescoping handle is attached to the handle mount on the upper frame offset from its center at a compound angle which aids capturing the ball in the raking mode while also facilitating the use of a wood or putter cover and ease of storage in the golf bag. The side frames inside diameters are slightly smaller than a golf ball which enables the golf ball retriever to capture the ball by going down over the ball from either side at any angle. The retriever can be used as a rake in clear or blind locations and from either side at any angle for clear water or rocky weedy and hazardous water areas that restrict the raking action.
