An automatically retractable step assembly for watercraft rotatably mounts to a fixed step assembly fixed to the craft, a movable sliding chassis mounted on tracks, or a manually retractable step. The automatically retractable step assembly can also rotatably mount to another automatically retractable step assembly. The automatically retractable step assembly is preferably formed by a U-shaped member with outward projections that rotatably fit over mating projections from a supporting element. The U-shaped member is biased by torsion springs to rotate with respect to the supporting elements towards a position in which the retractable step assembly will be stored and away from the water. The retractable step assembly, during use, is rotatable against the bias and towards or into the water by pulling or stepping on the retractable step.

The golf ball positioner has a fork assembly attached to the end of a shaft such that the fork assembly may be pushed over, around and under a golf ball without a golfer having to bend over. This is particularly useful on golf driving ranges where a golfer must continually bend over to retrieve and place a ball on a golf tee. The fork assembly has one or more fork elements that include a pair of generally semicircular fingers oriented orthogonal to the shaft. A spring is attached in the fingers to engage and be deformed by a golf ball as the fork element is pushed over it. The force of the spring then serves to retain the ball on the fingers. The ball may then be placed on a golf tee and the fork element slid out from under the ball.
