From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A golf ball retriever is used by golfers in order to retrieve lost or misplaced balls. Many golfers find the tool indispensable, allowing them to retrieve balls from water hazards, deep rough or even the occasional sand trap, where they would not otherwise be able to reach them.

Golf ball retrievers use telescopic extensions to extend up to 4.5 metres, enabling golf balls to be lifted from water using the swivelling cup at the end.
