"The Plunger": Assists Golfer in Retrieving Golf Ball From the Cup

​Golf is an outdoor sport enjoyed by twenty-three million people in the United States. Golfers of all ages, shapes and sizes play the game. At the end of each hole the golf ball comes to rest at the bottom of the cup which is four inches below the ground. The golfer then must bend over to retrieve the ball from the bottom of the cup placing stress on the knees and lower back. This process exposes the golfer to possible injury, especially older golfers who have lost some flexibility over the years.  The Plunger is an assistive device specially designed to facilitate expedient retrieval of a golf ball from a cup while remaining in the upright position without marring the cup.

This is an elongated tubular unit which is adjustable to accommodate players of different heights. The device is 24 inches long when compacted and can extend up to 34 inches long. It is fabricated of lightweight, durable aluminum or plastic. The distal end provides the primary function with a rubberized suction cup sized to fit a standard golf ball. The golfer simply lowers the device into the hole and presses down and the suction power grips the ball allowing the user to lift The Plunger and the ball out of the cup. The Plunger does not attach to the putter and effect the balance of the putter. It is an adjustable, lightweight, stand-alone unit designed for easy storage and accessibility. Televised test marketing has recently been completed indicating strong consumer interest in The Plunger.
 
The Patent Pending Plunger was invented by Robert Bava of Randolph, NJ who said, “The bottom of the hole is where every golfer wants to be. I have developed a prototype that successfully retrieves the golf ball from the hole in a safe and expedient way. The Plunger is the perfect golf accessory to make the game more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.”
