A golf ball remover allows easy removal of a golf ball from a golf hole while the flagstick is left in place, thereby sparing physical strain on the golfer and potential damage to the hole. The golf ball remover may user the flagstick itself as a movement guide, with a ball grabbing component that is not kept within the hole, but instead is stored above the hole on the flagstick and is pushed down into the hole when used. The golf ball remover may be attached to a retractable cord and/or other movement component to automatically lift it out of the hole.

The inventions disclosed herein may generally relate to a golf ball elevating systems which may address the need to elevate a golf ball or other sporting object from inside a putting green cup, possibly without human contact with a flag stick, ground, or cup. In some embodiments, the system may wholly comply with USGA (United States Golf Association) regulations. The system may use, for example, magnetic attraction or repulsion to facilitate elevation of the golf ball out of the cup. The system may use hooks, rings, or tool receptacles, as but a few examples to facilitate the golfer supplying the force to remove the golf ball from the cup such as by a putter. If desired to comply with the USGA flagstick requirements, some embodiments may have no pieces of the system present outside of the flagstick in the regions approximately 3″ above and approximately 3″ below the putting surface.

Disclosed is a device for supporting a golf club. The device includes two telescoping legs that are attached to a body. A c-shaped clamp is formed as part of the housing and is dimensioned to be clipped onto the shaft of a golf club. With the telescoping legs extended, the legs and golf club head form a tripod. This arrangement allows the club to be supported in an upright position on the golf course and prevent the golf grip from getting dirty or wet.

An apparatus and method is disclosed for hands-free retrieval of a golf ball from a putting green hole, where the apparatus includes a tilting disk placed in the hole that can be operated by a golf club handle to rotate the disk to pop up or eject the golf ball from the hole.

A specialized tool for golfers, this invention is small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket, in the form of a ball marker, with a line long enough to be useful, and a custom-molded hook/clasp to hold it together neatly. In addition to being a ball marker, this unique combination of features provides the user the length, accuracy, and speed-of-use necessary for: determining which ball is closest to (or farthest from) the hole, whether a ball is in or out of bounds, and a thin, straight line for putting practice; without unduly delaying the pace of play on the golf course.

A device for recovering a golf ball from a golf hole, the device comprising a baseplate extending substantially horizontally and configured to rest in the hole, a rod extending substantially vertically from the baseplate, and a handling member arranged on the rod so that it may be lifted by the head of a golfer's club.

An attachable ball holder assembly is disclosed that is operable for removing a golf ball from a golf hole. The assembly comprises of a holding platform. The holding platform comprises of a first holding platform flange and a second holding platform flange. The holding platform comprises of a first central void ring area defining a first central void. The holding platform comprises of an upper sector and a lower sector, wherein the lower sector comprises a central circular depression. The assembly comprises of a ridge coupled to the holding platform and disposed above the circumference of the holding platform. The assembly comprises of a bushing assembly comprising a first pole bushing coupled to a second pole pushing, wherein the bushing assembly is configured with a second central void ring area defining a second central void having a diameter greater than the diameter of a flagstick pole. The first pole bushing is disposed within the first central void, wherein the first pole bushing comprises of a first flange coupled to a first half of the depression, wherein the first flange is semi-circular. The second pole bushing is disposed within the first central void 1040. The second pole bushing comprises of a second flange coupled to substantially a second half of the depression.

An apparatus with an electronic communications subsystem. The apparatus includes an elongated vertical housing that snap-fits to a base plate having a cruciform spike there under. At least one side of the housing is configured to receive engravable snap-fit panel inserts bearing text and/or images. The interior of the housing has a cruciform support. The cylindrical container may be used for a variety of purposes, such as a time capsule, trinkets, emergency supplies, etc. The electronic communications subsystem may be provided on the exterior of the housing or snap-fit panel insert in the form of QR codes or URLs. The electronic communications subsystem may be inside the housing in the form of passive or active electronic chips that can be interrogated by a custom application loaded on a smart phone.
