Abstract
A retrieving device includes a support bracket and an expandable ball holder member which has a pair of arms with outer end portions capable of being flexed away from one another and having oppositely curved configurations, and an intermediate structure rigidly interconnecting inner end portions of the arms and pivotally connected to the lower end of the support bracket such that the expandable member is pivotally movable between a first position in which it extends alongside the support bracket and a second position in which it extends outwardly from the lower end of the support bracket such that when the retrieving device is used to retrieve a golf ball with the expandable member in the second position the outer end portions of the arms thereof are forced against the golf ball causing their outward flexing from one another to fit around and support the golf ball for lifting it.
