The current invention is a golf ball retriever that enables an individual to pick up a golf ball without requiring the user to bend over. The golf ball retriever includes an extendable rod with a cup configured to receive a golf ball disposed at a distal end of the rod. In one embodiment, the extendable rod is in a telescopic arrangement movable between an extend position and a retracted position. In use, the rod is extended and the cup is pressed over the ball. The cup receives the ball, and the ball remains within the cup until removed by a user.

Wearable electronic devices that are designed to be worn on the head of a user while the user is swimming can determine swimming strokes and swimming performances of the user using motion sensors. Using a sound speaker, the wearable electronic device can play music and provide audio feedback to the swimmer. By comparing the swimming performance of the swimmer wearing the device with previously recorded swimming data, the wearable electronic device can provide audio comparison results to the swimmer while the swimmer is swimming in water. The wearable electronic device can also support similar functions for other sports and physical activities.

A swim goggle with direction assist having a video camera in a housing, a video monitor, a video processing circuit, a power supply, a strap and a swim goggle lens set. The camera is enclosed within the camera housing. The monitor is housed in a transparent protrusion on one side of one of the goggle lens facing the user's eye. The video processing circuit and power supply are housed within a pocket located on the flexible strap. The camera housing is mounted on the flexible strap and located on the back portion of a swimmer's head so that when he has his face directed own into the water the camera is facing forward and its viewing path is approximately horizontal to the water allowing the swimmer to locate key visual indicators in front of him, allowing him to stay on course without lifting his head out of the water.

A golf ball retrieval apparatus for retrieving a golf ball from a cupped hole is provided. The golf ball retrieval apparatus comprises an outer tube and an inner shaft slidably receivable within the outer tube. A retrieval mechanism is mounted to the inner shaft and capable of releasably grasping the golf ball. A cam system is mounted to the inner shaft for substantially centering the inner shaft within the outer tube and impeding the movement of the inner shaft within the outer tube. Interaction of the cam system and the outer tube impedes movement of the inner shaft within the outer tube and releasably, frictionally secures a desired position of the inner shaft relative to the outer tube. Golfers are enabled to facilitate expedient retrieval of a golf ball from a cupped hole or other location while remaining in a substantially upright position.

The present invention relates to a leisure glove that is capable of having grip reinforcing members adapted to allow radial portions formed radially from central portions thereof and stripe-shaped wave portions surrounding the central portions to be spaced apart from one another, respectively, so that a contact force with a golf club can be strengthened to improve a grip force. According to the present invention, the leisure glove includes: a body; and grip reinforcing members formed on the outer surface of the palm portion of the body, wherein the grip reinforcing members may include: central portions; radial portions protruding from the center of each central portion in every direction; and wave portions formed to the shapes of stripes surrounding each central portion and spaced apart from one another to gradually expand outwardly.

An apparatus for improving flexibility and its method of use are provided. The apparatus features a flexible member, which can have varying degrees of stiffness and flexibility, based on user preference. Further, the apparatus features a first and second auxiliary grip, as well as a first and second primary grip. In conjunction, these grips provide a vast multitude of ways to grip the apparatus, enabling it to be used in a wide variety of stretches and exercises, promoting strength as well as joint mobility and flexibility.
