Intro ------ The golf ball retriever, on the surface of it, seems like a pretty pointless product. However, as i am sure many people realise, golf is a very tricky game and attempting to retrieve lost balls is always helpful, especially if you are playing with something like a Pro V1, where they cost a lot of money if you are losing them regularly. However, unless you play on a course which has a lot of water, i cannot really see the point in the product, as if you have found it then you are probably stood on top of it, in which case an 18 foot ball retriever is probably not really necessary is it? Thus, i concur with other reviewers that i probably wouldn't ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who plays golf will know how very frustrating it can be when you loose a good quality golf ball in the rough or in water. Sometimes you can inadvertently find someone elses lost golf ball when searching in the longer grass and amongst wooded areas of play, but still not find the one you yourself have lost. Other times you strike lucky and find the missing ball and can continue on without too much fuss. However when it comes to hitting a golf ball into the water during play, there is little chance of recovering it unless you have the right type of ball retrieving equipment. Thats where a good quality golf ball retriever comes into its ...  Read the complete review

With the price of top quality Golf balls being around three pounds each and even lesser quality "Budget" balls being at least a pound or so, this telescopic ball retriever is a gadget you really ought to have in your bag. Just think, how many times have you been unable to reach your "Lost" ball even though you could see it quite clearly? Not just in Water, but under a hedge, in a thicket, over a ditch....... there are so many possibilities. My advice is buy one of these and I reckon that within a handful of rounds you will be "Quids in". In brief, This retriever is a 6 section, Graduated Aluminium tube pole with a sturdy ...  Read the complete review

Now you might be wondering why this wonderful Dooyoo golfer is doing a review of a piece of equipment which suggests that he might have a few wayward shots every now and again. Well let me tell you that once that huge machine at CERN has found the basic building blocks of the universe, it can be re-programmed and sort out some truly important questions, like why does a golf ball find the only place on a golf course where it is impossible to get too without getting wet, muddy or both. This is one of those strange pieces of equipment which tends to be bought for a player rather than that player going out one day and think "hmmm" must get a piece of ...  Read the complete review

am a keen golfer and like to get out on the golf course as often as possible. However, there is one course that I don't often like to play that is quite local to me. Why? Well it has many water hazards throughout the course and I tend to lose a number of golf balls them. Luckily my dad brought me a golf ball retriever for my last birthday, so I can now play that course without the worry of extra cost through loss of balls. This golf ball retriever isn't too big and doesn't take up much room in your golf bag. I am sure that the designers considered this when it was being developed. When retracted its about 4 foot in length, but when extended it reaches 18 feet ...  Read the complete review
