A putter used for playing the game of golf has a putter body formed with a vertical opening sized to engage the diametric circumference of a golf ball to permit the golf ball to be elevated by the putter. The putter body is sized to permit insertion into the cup formed in the surface of the green to engage a golf ball at the bottom of the cup for removal therefrom. The putter body is also formed with a magnetic ball marker retriever positioned along a peripheral edge of the putter body to permit the magnetic attraction of a ball marker for elevation thereof from the surface of the green. The putter permits a golf ball to be elevated and a ball marker to be placed on the surface of the green, as well as be retrieved from the surface of the green without requiring the player to bend over.
