Abstract
A method and apparatus for retrieving golf balls from a submerged surface includes a power drive device which is stationed along the shore of the submerged surface of a golf course water hazard and which carries a pair of spools on which flexible line is wound. The flexible line on one spool is connected directly to a golf ball retrieving mechanism, and the line from the other spool is connected around a pulley on a deadman stake on the opposite side of the submerged surface and is then connected to the golf ball retrieving device. Accordingly, the golf ball retriever is moved along the submerged surface toward and away from the opposite shores of the water hazard by alternatively driving one of the spools and permitting the other spool to unwind. The power drive device is moved incrementally along the shore surface after each sweep of the golf ball retriever so that golf balls may be retrieved from all of the submerged surface.
