ABSTRACT:
A golf ball retriever for retrieving golf balls from water hazards and other inaccessible places. The retriever consists essentially of an elongated handle having a flat plate attached to one end. The flat plate has a plurality of retrieving fingers pivotedly attached thereto. The free end of each finger is curved rearwardly in the general direction of the elongated handle and has an uncurved outermost portion which rises from the horizontal toward the elongated handle. A sliding bar is provided for maintaining the retrieving fingers in either a closely-spaced configuration or a spread-apart configuration. With the retrieving fingers in a spread-apart configuration, the distance between the free ends of adjacent fingers is slightly less than the diameter of a golf ball.
