Best golf ball retrievers according to redditors

cobwebs, no problem.

Golf Ball Retriever, lightweight extension handle goes to 15 feet. Painting poles that tall are heavy and designed to apply pressure, thus making them unwieldy and at that height you can easily dent your walls. These handles are firm but lightweight.

Unscrew the round part of the golf ball retriever...the golfball basket, and then attach some sort of ceiling duster to the end...use duct tape or hose clamps for stability. SOME ceiling dusters also extend, but usually no more than 6 feet. so that could give you a 20 foot long dusting wand.

Not all cobwebs are from spiders, some are just from dust and fibers in the air...my house...

IF you had spiders or insects you can spray the duster face with a bug killer and then give the walls and corners a wipe down with it.

I carry a search and rescue in my car. Its meant for ball golf but I cut a 45 degree angle on the hook part and it works perfect.

Where's the golf cart seat cover and the golf ball picker-upper suction cup?

I don’t know why people have a hard on for bashing ball grabbers around here. If my ball rolls into a lake, I don’t want to almost fall in trying to retrieve it, and at $2-4 a ball, not worth leaving behind.

For what it’s worth though, I got this Callaway retriever during prime day and love it. I truly like the old school heavy duty ones as well but couldn’t find one for cheaper at the time.

extendable gold ball retriever.

If you make them tall enough so that they don't block people's views and you should be fine. They don't bother me.

I tried getting him a 'suction cup' pickup tool, but his putter's grip was too wide for it. Found this one on Amazon that claims to fit any grip, but I'm distrustful of random Amazon sellers. Anyone have experience with this or another option that would work for my 87 year old grandpa?

Thanks!

Looks a bit like a (very fancy) golf ball retriever

For comparison

I've got a 20' one that I bring every year. Its actually a converted golf ball retriever kind of like this that I zip tie a flag to. Then we just zip tie it about 30 times to the top of two or three of the canopy legs. Ends up about 23-25 feet in the air.

Or something similar

Short video (sorry for the portrait vs landscape mode). Round 1 was a total catastrophe in that no balls were pulled from the pond at all. Today we tried it again at a pretty decent course in Atlanta and pulled about 40 balls in 10 minutes or so. They were almost all great balls with the exception of a couple generic topflites and callaway lower end balls. The thing works like a charm. Here is a link in case you want to buy one for yourself. (I have no ties to the company at all, just curious and bought one)

Here is the mobile version of your link

aw shucks, thanks. Here is where I got the idea. And this is the one I have.

Golf ball retriever. Haven't bought a golf ball in years. Every time I'm in the woods or water, i'll find a few more.

I own this one:

A bit pricey but it's sturdy as hell, plenty long, and very easy to capture wayward golf balls.

Love the exchange, but seriously go get one. Received [mine] (https://www.amazon.com/Orlimar-15-Foot-Flourescent-Head-Retriever/dp/B004LFW7S8/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1465759019&sr=8-10&keywords=telescopic+golf+ball+retriever) last Christmas as a stocking stuffer, and it's paid for itself 100x over. My home course is usually pretty slow, so I generally stop at one specific place and always walk away with forgotten soldiers. I haven't bought new balls in almost a year

i'm telling you, everybody needs to be carrying one of these: https://www.amazon.com/JTD-Enterprises-18-Feet-Retriever-Action/dp/B007OJY6YG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1523021639&sr=8-3&keywords=golf+ball+rake

I just realized he was using this.
