Abstract
A golf ball retrieval device which includes a receiver configured to be removably mounted to a golf pin. Further, a receiver body may be congruent to a counterweight of the golf pin. Further, the receiver indexes to the golf pin. Further, the golf ball retrieval device may include a collar comprising a hollow structure concentric to the receiver. Further, the collar may be configured to permit passage of the golf pin through the golf ball retrieval device. Further, the golf ball retrieval device may include an insertable grommet configured to enable a user to adapt the collar to fit the golf pin of a minimal diameter. Further, the golf ball retrieval device may include a platform comprising a surface protruding radially from a combined form of the collar and the receiver.
Claims19
A golf ball retrieval device comprising:
- a receiver configured to be removably mounted to a golf pin, wherein a receiver body is congruent to a counterweight of the golf pin, wherein the receiver indexes to the golf pin;
- a collar comprising a hollow structure concentric to the receiver, wherein the collar is configured to permit passage of the golf pin through the golf ball retrieval device;
- an insertable grommet configured to enable a user to adapt the collar to fit the golf pin of a minimal diameter;
- a platform comprising a surface protruding radially from a combined form of the collar and the receiver, wherein the platform is configured to substantially fill a cross-sectional area of a golf cup;
- wherein the golf cup has a depth;
- wherein the collar further comprises an operable fixation component configured for adapting the collar to fit a plurality of pin diameters corresponding to a plurality of golf pins.
A golf ball retrieval device comprising:
- a receiver configured to be removably mounted to a golf pin, wherein a receiver body is congruent to a counterweight of the golf pin, wherein the receiver indexes to the golf pin;
- a collar comprising a hollow structure concentric to the receiver, wherein the collar is configured to permit passage of the golf pin through the golf ball retrieval device, wherein the collar comprises:
- a ring comprising a rigid structural body;
- the ring comprising an inner diameter;
- a first fastener comprising a threaded setscrew penetrating the collar to protrude into the inner diameter of the ring;
- and
- at least one second fastener configured to directly and oppositely oppose the first fastener across the ring, thereby enabling the user to advance the first fastener and at least one second fastener in conjunction to mechanically fix the golf ball retrieval device to a shaft of the golf pin;
- an insertable grommet configured to enable a user to adapt the collar to fit the golf pin of a minimal diameter;
- and
- a platform comprising a surface protruding radially from a combined form of the collar and the receiver, wherein the platform is configured to substantially fill a cross-sectional area of a golf cup.
