Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation-in-part (CIP) of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 18/984,617 filed on Dec. 17, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, which is a CIP of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 17/575,473 filed on Jan. 13, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND This section is intended to introduce the reader to aspects of art that may be related to various aspects of the present disclosure described herein, which are described and/or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present disclosure described herein. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art. Disc golf has been growing in popularity within the past few years. Disc golf is a flying disc sport which involves players throwing discs into a series of disc golf baskets on a course. The goal of disc golf is to throw the disc toward each disc golf basket in the lowest number of throws. The player who has the lowest number of throws at the end of each course is the winner. While playing disc golf is enjoyable, the retrieval of disc golf discs can be painstakingly frustrating. For example, after a disc golf disc is thrown, the disc golf disc can land in various unreachable areas such as in bodies of water, rough vegetation, trees, or other terrain that requires significant retrieval effort from the player. Thus, retrieval of these disc golf discs can be inconvenient, laborious, time consuming, and result in downtime during a game. Hence, what is needed is a device that enables a player to quickly and efficiently retrieve a disc golf disc in hard to reach or unreachable places. BRIEF SUMMARY In one non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the disclosure described herein, a disc golf disc retrieval device that is simple to operate and allows a disc golf disc player or user to conveniently, quickly, and efficiently to engage with and retrieve a disc golf disc in hard to reach or unreachable places that can reduce downtime during a disc golf game, among other uses and advantages. Here, the disc golf disc retrieval device can include a retrieval head, a plurality of flexible post members extending from the retrieval head, wherein each of the flexible post member comprise a suction cup, and wherein the suction cup is configured to enable engagement of a disc golf disc thereto. The device can further include a telescoping pole member and a securement member configured to secure the retrieval head to the telescoping pole member. In addition, the securement member may include a threaded member. Further, the retrieval head may also include a bore, channel, or opening extending therethrough. Also, the securement member may include a male threaded member and a female threaded member. In addition, the male threaded member may be disposed within the bore, channel, or opening of the retrieval head. Moreover, the female threaded member may be secured to a distal end of the telescoping pole member. Further, the male threaded member may be adapted to engage the female threaded member. In another non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the disclosure described herein, a disc golf disc retrieval system can include a retrieval head, a post member extending from the retrieval head, and a suction cup secured to the post members. In addition, the disc golf disc retrieval system can include a telescoping pole member, a securement member configured to secure the retrieval head to the telescoping pole member, and a disc golf disc retrieval accessory secured to the securement member. Further, the retrieval accessory may include a hook member. In another non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the disclosure described herein, a disc golf disc retrieval system can include a head member, a protruding member extending from the head member, and a suction member secured to the protruding member. In addition, a telescoping pole member can include a proximal end and a distal end. Further, a securement member may be configured to secure the head member to the distal end of the telescoping pole member, and to further secure an accessory to the head member.
