ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to ball retrievers. More particularly, the invention is directed to golf ball retrievers for acquiring and remotely retrieving golf balls.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a novel golf ball retriever including a distal frame having a plurality of sidewalls with recesses formed therein for the retrieval of golf balls from the front or sides. In addition, the frame further includes a trap door positioned adjacent the bottom for retrieving golf balls. The golf ball retriever is capable of retrieving multiple golf balls simultaneously.
