Attachable Ball Holder

Abstract

An attachable ball holder assembly is disclosed that is operable for removing a golf ball from a golf hole. The assembly comprises of a holding platform. The holding platform comprises of a first holding platform flange and a second holding platform flange. The holding platform comprises of a first central void ring area defining a first central void. The holding platform comprises of an upper sector and a lower sector, wherein the lower sector comprises a central circular depression. The assembly comprises of a ridge coupled to the holding platform and disposed above the circumference of the holding platform. The assembly comprises of a bushing assembly comprising a first pole bushing coupled to a second pole pushing, wherein the bushing assembly is configured with a second central void ring area defining a second central void having a diameter greater than the diameter of a flagstick pole. The first pole bushing is disposed within the first central void, wherein the first pole bushing comprises of a first flange coupled to a first half of the depression, wherein the first flange is semi-circular. The second pole bushing is disposed within the first central void 1040. The second pole bushing comprises of a second flange coupled to substantially a second half of the depression.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . An attachable ball holder assembly operable for removing a golf ball from a golf hole comprising:
 a holding platform comprising:
 a first holding platform flange and a second holding platform flange; 
 a first central void ring area defining a first central void; 
 an upper sector; and 
 a lower sector, wherein the lower sector comprises a central, circular depression; 
   a ridge coupled to the holding platform and disposed above the circumference of the holding platform; and   a bushing assembly comprising a first pole bushing coupled to a second pole pushing, wherein the bushing assembly is configured with a second central void ring area defining a second central void having a diameter greater than the diameter of a flagstick pole;   wherein:   the first pole bushing is disposed within the first central void, wherein the first pole bushing comprises of a first flange coupled to a first half of the depression, wherein the first flange is semi-circular; and   the second pole bushing is disposed within the first central void and the second pole bushing comprises of a second flange coupled to substantially a second half of the depression; the second flange being substantially semi-circular.   
     
     
         2 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 1  wherein the holding platform comprises of a plurality of open sections or holes oriented around the center. 
     
     
         3 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 3 , wherein the holes oriented around the center are configured to be between 1% and 99% of the surface of the holding platform. 
     
     
         4 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 1 , wherein the holding platform is conically formed such that a golf ball will roll toward the center of the holding platform. 
     
     
         5 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 5 , wherein the conical angle measures between 5% and 40% grade. 
     
     
         6 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 5 , wherein the conical angle measures between 10% and 30% grade. 
     
     
         7 . The attachable ball holder  claim 1 , wherein a latch is comprised of a first bushing and a second bushing, identical in shape and size, configured to wrap around a pole of a flagstick and attach to a center of the holding platform. 
     
     
         8 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 7 , further comprising a snap hook on each of the first and second bushing configured as a fastening mechanism, wherein each of the first and second bushing are configured to be attachable to the holding platform. 
     
     
         9 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 7 , wherein the holding platform and the latch is made of flexible material or a rigid material. 
     
     
         10 . The attachable ball holder of  claim 1 , wherein the holding platform is circular and the top portion of the channel comprises of a ledge for a hook of a snap hook. 
     
     
         11 . The attachable ball holder of any of  claim 1 , wherein a range of the incline angle of one or more support arms may be altered to assist a golf ball, that is disposed upon the holding platform, to gravitate towards the center area.
