ABSTRACT:
A golf ball retriever that is integrally formed from a single sheet of a resilient flexible material comprises two panels separated by an H-shaped strap. The H-shaped strap is connected to end edges of the two panels along fold lines, and folds up in between the two panels as the two panels are brought together with their side and end edges aligned. The side edges of one panel are releasably interlocked with the side edges of the other panel by engaging respective tabs and slots provided along the panel side edges. When a force is applied to the interlocked side edges, the panels bow outwardly to form a tube having open tube ends. The golf ball retriever can be attached to the handle of a golf club by inserting the handle into one of the open tube ends, and then removing the force applied to the side edges. The H-shaped strap prevents the handle from extending into the tube beyond a predetermined distance. With the ball retriever attached to the handle, a golf ball can be retrieved with the other open tube end which grasps the golf ball with a biting action due to the resiliency of the flexible panels.
