ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a combination of a golf ball carrier and a shagger for golf balls where the golf ball can be retrieved from the carrier through the shagger end. The preferred embodiment of this invention is made of a tube slightly larger in diameter than a golf ball with several holes that are large enough for an individual to place his finger through. The tube has four slots at each end of the tube. O-rings of a slightly less diameter than the tube are placed over the ends of the tube and fit in the slot. These rubber o-rings form a mouth at both ends of the tube which has a diameter less than a golf ball. To use the invention, an individual places the tube over a golf ball which he wishes to shag and presses down on the tube. The rubber o-rings will flex outward allowing the golf ball to enter the tube and upon entrance in the tube the o-rings will then flex back into position so that the golf ball will remain in the tube. When an individual wishes to recover a ball from the tube, he sticks his fingers through one of the holes in the tube and puts pressure on the golf balls toward one end. This pressure causes the o-ring to flex outward allowing the golf ball to exit the tube. Once the golf ball has exited the tube, the o-ring will then flex back into position holding any other golf balls in the tube.
