ABSTRACT:
A golf ball retrieving device comprises a set of short telescoping tubular shafts which, when collapsed, will fit easily in a pocket of a golf bag or the like. The base shaft section is provided with an open cylindrical socket at its base end. The socket has a lengthwise slot on its side opposite the base section through which the metal shaft of a golf club may be introduced. The socket may then be moved along the club shaft until the gripping handle of the shaft enters the socket and the increasing thickness thereof may be pressed into firm engagement with the socket. The combined club shaft and the telescoping sections may thus be extended to provide a ball retrieving shaft two or three times the length of the club shaft alone. A ball pick-up device, which may be a ring having an internal diameter a little less than the diamemter of a golf ball, is mounted at the outer end of the end section so that a ball may be engaged by the user and picked up at a substantial distance from the user.
