Abstract
A golf ball retriever system that includes a hook assembly, constructed from a wire material covered with a rubberized coating to minimize disturbance of the bottom materials of the water hazard so that the water clarity would stay as clear as possible during retrieval of the golf ball. The hook assembly is secured to the end of the telescopically extendable handle that collapses for convenient storage.
Claims1
A golf ball retriever system comprising:
- a telescoping handle assembly including a hand grip attached at a first end of a telescoping section that retracts into a cavity provided within the hand grip and a second end attached to two mirror image, rubberized, metal gripping hook members, each having a curved portion that terminates in a prong projecting upwardly from a plane defined by the curved portion at an angle of about forty-five degrees;
- the two, mirror image, rubberized, metal gripping hook members being connected to the second end of the telescoping section such that the prongs define a split opening therebetween that provides an area for receiving a golf ball held within a holding area defined by the two, mirror image, rubberized, metal gripping hook members.
