ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a multiple-object grasping device providing an elongated channel-like body and a pivotally connected object grasping arm each of which has a stepped or undercut object-receiving notch thus cooperatively to accommodate a golf ball and tee in proper interrelationship for simultaneous installation on a teeing area of a golf course and which is just as conveniently adapted individually to handle these and other golf playing accessories coincident with a round of golf while the golfer is permitted to maintain a substantially upright position without the necessity of ever having to stoop or bend over. The body has a pair of object engaging fingers between which a finger on the arm is extendable to dependably grasp such objects and to hold them in tightly stacked relation. The present subject invention virtually eliminates any possibility of damage to the golf hole by further providing a spring tensioned grasping arm which affords a self-centering effect as it expands in sliding relation against the inner wall of the cup to effectively maintain the device in upright substantially vertical position spaced from the vulnerable upper rim or edge of the cup.
