A golf ball retriever is used by golfers in order to retrieve their lost or misplaced balls. They allow one 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 meteres, enabling balls to be lifted from water using the swivelling cup at the end.

Their only monument the asphalt road
And a thousand lost golf balls.””

“Don’t tell me what delusion he entertains regarding God, or what mountebank he follows in politics, or what he springs from, or what he submits to from his wife. Simply tell me how he makes his living. It is the safest and surest of all known tests. A man who gets his board and lodging on this ball in an ignominious way is inevitably an ignominious man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
