ABSTRACT:
A golf ball retriever (10) is provided including a shaft (12), a resilient wire (14) having a first end (18) and a second end (20) substantially parallel to the shaft (12), and a retaining member (16) holding the first end (18) and the second end (20) to the shaft (12). The resilient wire (14) has at least two loops (30) and (31) formed therein spaced at a distance slightly smaller than the diameter of a golf ball. The flexibility of resilient wire (14) allows the golf ball to squeeze through the loops (30) and (31) utilizing a minimal amount of force. The golf ball sits cradled between the loops (30) and (31) and can be easily extracted by slightly shaking the shaft to provide enough force for the golf ball to push through the loops (30) and (31).
