Ball-retrieving golf putter & ball

Abstract

R. Jerome Miller's new invention consists of a simple magnet embedded in the handle of the putting club, near the tip of the handle. The golf ball has a magnetic metal or plastic substance in its core, or integrated in the said ball's covering. This metal or other substance is responsive to the force of magnetism, while itself not being a magnet. When Miller's improved golf ball is putted into a golf course's green's cup, the player simply turns the putter upside down, sticks the handle into the cup, the ball clings to the putter's handle tip, and the golfer lifts the ball out of the cup and into said player's hand, all without the inconvenience of physically bending down.

1 . A mechanical method of retrieving a novel putted golf ball from a golf course green's cup, without requiring a golfer to bend down to retrieve said ball by hand, utilizing a novel golf putter, comprising:
 (a) a golf ball reconfigured in a manufacturing process to include a magnet-attracting metallic or other magnet-sensitive material anywhere within said golf ball, including said ball's outer covering, and   (b) a golf putter reconfigured in a manufacturing process to include a magnet of sufficient size, embedded in said putter's handgrip near the tip of said putter's handgrip, to cause said novel golf ball in (a) to cling to the tip of said handgrip when said putter's handgrip is stuck into said putting green's cup which contains said novel golf ball in (a),   
     whereby a golfer can putt said novel golf ball into a golf course putting green's cup and retrieve said ball with said putter without enduring the tiresome, repetitive drudgery of bending over to retrieve said ball by hand, therefore allowing the game of golf to be more pleasurable and efficient for said golfer.
