ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retrieving golf balls comprises a structure which may be dragged behind or pushed by a tractor. The structure comprises a plurality of golf ball containers which are individually and flexibly connected to the dragging structure. Rearwardly converging guide means are also flexibly connected to the dragging structure for guiding golf balls into front openings in each of the ball containers. In front of each ball container opening is a lift gate comprising a plurality of fixed strands and a lowermost pivotable strand for dislodging partially buried golf balls. A paddle structure rotates in conjunction with the lift gate to assist golf balls upwardly into the container and the paddle structure is connected to ground engaging wheels which rotate as the apparatus is dragged in operation.
