1. An apparatus for recovering golf balls, the apparatus comprising;
a hull configured to float on water; a motor mounted on the hull, the motor configured to propel the hull on the water; a pumping system mounted on the hull, the pumping system configured to pump the water on which the hull floats and deliver high pressure water; a pressure line connected to the pumping system, the pressure line configured to received and direct the high pressure water from the pumping system; a return line connected to the pressure line, the return line configured to receive the high pressure water from the pressure line; a suction nozzle in fluid communication with the pressure line and the return line, wherein the high pressure water passing from the pressure line to the return line generates a suction at the suction nozzle for drawing water and golf balls into the return line; a separator connected to the return line, the separator configured to receive the golf balls from the water from the return line and to separate the golf balls from the water; and a handle connected to the suction nozzle, the handle configured to position the suction nozzle relative to the hull.
