ABSTRACT:
A ball extracting device (1, 14) for removing a golf ball (8) from holes and other locations which is integrally attachable to a golf club shaft (3) on the grip (13) of a golf club. The device is a cylindrically-shaped module having side walls (18), a bottom (19) and an open top (7) for extracting and retaining a golf ball (8) when downward pressure is applied to the device (1, 14) against the ball (8). The walls (18) contain holes (5) therethrough so that a golfer's fingers can be inserted to facilitate easy removal of the ball from the device. The extracting device (1, 14) can be incorporated either with a replacement grip (2) that fits over the shaft of a golf club, a grip that covers a preexisting grip, or a cap-like module (14) that fits over the end of a golf club grip. All versions of the device work in the same manner and do not require modification to the existing golf club. This device eliminates the need for stressful bending when extracting golf balls from holes or other places, particularly for handicapped golfers, golfers with back problems, elderly golfers, or those with medical conditions such as arthritis.
