Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006089360A1] A golf ball collecting device (10) comprises a cup (12) adapted to successfully hold a golf ball (22) therein. The cup (12) incorporates a metal disc (14) of magnetic material to enable the device to be attached by magnetic force to the end of a golf club (16). In this manner the golf club (16) with the device (10) attached thereto can be used to retrieve a golf ball (22) from ground level without having to bend down. The golf ball (22) can be gripped by the device (10) by aiming the cup (12) at the golf ball and pressing on it slightly, thus allowing the golfer to easily retrieve the ball (22) without having to bend over or kneel and risk straining their knees or back. The device (10) can be quickly and easily attached to the golf club (16) by means of a second metal disc (20) attached to the handle grip (18), and just as quickly and easily removed after the golf ball has been retrieved.
