How to Attach a Golf Ball Pick Up to a Putter

Putter attachments are particularly helpful to golfers with a bad back.

Devices specifically designed to pick up golf balls can be purchased at most golf outlet stores or golf courses. They are long metallic shafts with a rubber or metal device at the tip that molds to the shape of a golf ball, enabling golfers to pick up a ball without bending over. Special devices also can be purchased that simply fit at the end of a putter grip to accomplish the same goal.

Things You'll Need

• Putter
• Rubber golf ball pick-up device

Instructions

1. Fit the small end of the rubber golf ball pick-up device over the base of the grip on any standard putter.

2. Apply pressure until the base of the grip is flush against the base of the device.

3. Hold the putter head in your hand and fit the device over any standard golf ball, then simply press down until the ball is tightly gripped.

4. Lift the grip to your hand and remove the ball for later use.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the device separate from your putter while putting. Fit the device onto the grip only after you are finished putting and are ready to pick up your ball. This will allow you to putt without any added hindrances.
