ABSTRACT:
A device for retrieving golf balls from water hazards, which includes a main body resembling a scoop with a handle holder to which a pole-like handle may be attached. The main body has two parallel oppositely positioned end walls, and preferably three slots that can retain golf balls while allowing water to pass through as the invention is moved along the bottom of a water hazard to retrieve the balls. Rounded end portions of the slots are shaped so that the balls will tend to fall into them, rather than rolling back out of the interior of the main body. In the preferred embodiment, two center strips run between slots. Two end strips run between slots and the end walls to which they are connected. The strips and end walls are joined by a top cross strip and a bottom cross strip. The handle holder includes preferably a widened portion of the top cross strip, to which are perpendicularly joined two parallel upright members, between which preferably two parallel bolts are inserted, to hold the handle in place.
