Golf Ball Retrievers
Every once in a while, you mess up a shot. I know. Shocker. The ball dribbles literally feet from where it started. It’s embarrassing, and you glance around in shame as you quickly run up and try it again.
It’s ok. It happens to all of us.
More often than not, the ball will travel far enough away from you where it is at least not mortifying. When that happens, it is a glorious thing. A golfer will almost never complain about having to walk a long way to their next shot.
But we’re not always, on the course, are we? Golfers, above almost all other sports, can be intense — even borderline obsessive — about the amount of practice that we try to sneak in. Driving ranges, school fields, backyards with nets, community parks… almost anywhere with grass and an area to swing. When it comes to putting, even the living room or office carpet is not safe from stroke after stroke of repetitive conditioning.
One thought plagues us, however, after we let loose with our first practice stroke — and probably has since the very first Scotsman thwacked his very first ball.
“Who is going to get that ball back to me so I can do that again?”
This section will highlight some of the most popular tools used to retrieve the ball after it flies away from you. (Or at least farther away from you than the embarrassing miss.)
Types of Ball Retrievers
The most common tool used to fetch your golf balls after hitting them from your “practice area” is the Shag Bag. These hand tools make it easy to hold a ton of practice balls and collect them quickly and easily without too much effort. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to even find those practice shots, and that’s why you may find a product like the Golf Ball Radar Detector or something similar to help you locate where the shot actually landed. Finally, the most common tool used while practicing your putts may be something like the Robocup Ball Retriever, which actually shoots your ball back to you after your stroke.
But is that all? Unfortunately not. Sometimes, it is on the course itself where you need to get you ball back. Enter that ugly pond on Hole #4. You know the one. It sucks in golf balls like Hungry Hippos eat marbles. In this case, you may have to use a different type of “retriever” to get your ball back.
