ABSTRACT:
A golfing accessory, preferably a built-in component of a putter, enables a ball to be lifted and re-emplaced while the golfer remains in an upright posture. In the preferred form, the device releases a ball position marker as the ball is being engaged and recovers the marker during re-emplacement of the ball. The apparatus has a handle shaft with a head at the lower end from which a pair of resilient tangs extend. The tangs have a spacing slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball and have convergent ends. The tangs are traveled down along opposite sides of the ball to a position below the center of the ball in order to grip the ball for lifting. A leaf spring initially clamps the marker to the head but is deflected by the ball as it is being engaged by the tangs and thereby releases the marker. A magnet in the head enables retrieval of the marker without bending over.
