The Scramble Scoop is perfect for someone in a cart, if you need to get your ball you don’t have to bend down to do it.
This is a great device for senior golfers. Some of the benefits are the reduction in stress on joints bending down to get a ball, reduces the chances of falling out of the cart when picking up a ball and will help put less strain on the back.
The company believes the gadget speeds up play and I would agree with that. Anything that speeds up the game I am all for, but I found another great use for it.
It is the perfect retriever for balls in ponds. Granted the pole doesn’t extend out as far as a conventional ball retriever, but the mesh netting makes it much easier to grab balls.
This invention was not created by a lazy golfer, though, it was devised by a woman named, Betty Bucher. She came up with the idea after playing in many golf scrambles and shambles over the year.
It took several years, but Bucher got a patent and refined her invention, finally perfecting it. Bucher, who has grandchildren, has also found the Scramble Scoop handy when picking up their toys.
The cost of the Scramble Scoop is $16.95 and can be ordered by calling (800) 590-8484 or visiting the website at www.scramblescoop.com.
