ABSTRACT:
A golf ball retriever device and method of using same for recovering golf balls from a water hazard. The device comprises an open frame portion having a pair of longitudinal frame members and a plurality of interconnecting ball catching members. The ball catching members are spaced to entrap golf balls while allowing smaller objects in the water hazard to pass through. The device further includes an extension portion having a tie end located forwardly of the open frame portion. A tether cord of a predetermined length is attached to the tie end of the extension portion. After being thrown into the water hazard to a location beyond the golf ball to be retrieved, the tether cord is pulled so that the golf ball is entrapped and thereby recovered. The extension portion helps the device maintain a correct orientation while it is pulled without digging into the soft bottom of the water hazard. Preferably, the extension portion is also removable so that the device can be made compact for storage.
