A golf ball retrieval tool comprising an elongate handle ( 1 ) which carries at one end a so-called cage ( 20 ) which has at its rear end that faces towards the handle ( 1 ) a first section ( 21 ) and at a part distal from said handle a second section ( 22 ) which connects with said first section ( 21 ), wherein in a first cage orientation of the tool the first cage section has an opening edge ( 21 ) which, in said first tool orientation, is generally open downwards and rearwards towards the handle and which is able to freely receive a golf ball, wherein a transit opening ( 32 ) connects the first section ( 21 ) with the second section ( 22 ), wherein the second section includes a downwardly open opening ( 33 ) which forms a ball seating, wherein, with the tool in said first cage orientation, the handle extends obliquely downwards beneath the horizontal plane of the cage ( 22 ), and wherein the transit opening ( 32 ) between said first and said second sections forms a threshold ( 35 ) over which the ball must run. The cage comprises a roof structure which in response to pressing the cage generally vertically against a ball, which as a result is received in the first section, when the tool is in said first cage orientation, generates on the ball a wedging action such as to drive the ball through the transit opening ( 32 ) and into the second section ( 22 ) where the ball ( 3 ) can be received in the ball seating ( 33 ).
