ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for retrieving an object such as a golf ball. In one preferred embodiment, the retriever comprises a handle, a stationary member or loop that is rigidly attached to the handle, a reactive member or loop that is pivotally attached to the stationary member and a spring for biasing the reactive member substantially perpendicular to the stationary member. In a second preferred embodiment, a pair of mounting members and a clip are added to allow the stationary member to be rotated and lock into any desired position relative to the handle. Prior to capturing the object, the retriever is set such that the stationary and reactive members are substantially parallel. The retriever is then directed so that when the spring contacts an object, it trips the spring and causes the reactive member to pivot into a substantially perpendicular position with respect to the stationary member, capturing the object inside the stationary and reactive members.
