A portable golf ball retrieving tool has a shaft rotatably mounted on a handle. The shaft includes a number of spaced apart, slightly yieldable flat discs and has an extension at each end. A disc is mounted on each extension and the extensions include stub shafts which are telescoped into the ends of the tubular main shaft. The handle is made of multiple, relatively telescoping sections so that both the shaft and the handle can be collapsed to minimize the overall dimensions of the tool. The tool in its expanded position is rolled over a surface such as the bottom of a water hazard on a golf course. Golf balls encountered by the tool are rolled into positions between appropriately spaced apart discs where they are gripped between the disc pairs. The friction for gripping the golf balls is enhanced by a plurality of concentric ridges on the outer margins of the disc surfaces.
