Ball Retriever

By Brent Kelley, About.com

Definition: A utensil most commonly carried, naturally, by players who hit a lot of balls into the water. It's essentially a long pole with a small scoop on the end that allows a player to "reach" into a water hazard to retrieve golf balls that would otherwise be lost. The pole is usually made of a telescoping metal.
