摘要： A ball lifting device having an elevator is attachable to a flagstick for enabling easy removal of a golf ball that is holed while putting with the flagstick in place in the cup. The elevator may be attached to a handle portion that extends up along the pole portion of the flagstick allowing the elevator to be raised by way of the handle portion. The handle portion may have a hook portion for hooking up with a golf club so that hand contact with the device is eliminated. The handle portion may be a thin member. The handle portion may be a tubular portion. The elevator may be spring loaded with the spring manually loaded by a golfer and released to eject the golf ball from the cup.

摘要： A ball retrieving assembly for collecting balls on a surface includes a basket that has a pair of elastomeric openings integrated into the basket to pass a ball into the basket for transporting the ball. A plurality of rollers is each movably coupled to the basket each of the rollers is urgeable into a compressed condition to facilitate the basket to be lowered to the support surface. In this way balls lying on the support surface can pass through respective ones of the elastomeric openings for positioning the balls in the basket. A pair of handles is each removably attachable to the basket for urging the rollers into the compressed condition when handles are pressed downwardly.

摘要： Golf entertainment venues with a computing system configured to optically identify and track graphical images located on golf balls hit by players. The graphical image located on a golf ball can be associated with a player and the computing system can assign the player a score when that player's golf ball successfully arrives at a target area. In some embodiments, the graphical images can be printed on the golf balls using, for example, a single pass inkjet printing technique. In some embodiments, the computing system can be configured to sort golf balls based on optically identified graphical images.

摘要： The invention is that of a lacrosse ball collection apparatus fabricated from materials such as plastics, metals and fabrics. The apparatus comprises a fabric which when in its open position forms a substantially triangular horizontal surface capable of fitting inside a lacrosse goal. When lacrosse balls are shot into the goal, they collect on the fabric. The apparatus is foldable at a front joint and comprises a spout located behind the front joint and in close proximity thereto, such that the apparatus may be used to carry the balls to a collection receptacle, where they may be poured out of the spout into the receptacle for reuse. The apparatus is further foldable at two side joints such that an apical joint is foldable toward the front joint and two front member segments are foldable inward to render the apparatus in a compact, closed position suitable for storage in small spaces.

摘要： Systems for assisting a user with creating a custom basketball practice arrangement are provided. A user interface has selectable input areas arranged in association with a visual depiction of a three-point line to visually correspond with pass receipt locations at the basketball playing surface for an ejector to launch basketballs towards. User selection is made at the selectable input areas to define a subset of pass receipt locations forming the custom basketball practice arrangement. A control system receives data indicating the received user selection and commands the ejector to launch at least one basketball towards each of the plurality of pass receipt locations in said subset.
