ABSTRACT:
Air flowing in a transportation conduit delivers golf balls from a central repository to dispensers located throughout a driving range. An apparatus for introducing the golf balls into this flowing stream of air includes a valving system capable of introducing batches of balls in an air stream flowing in a substantially horizontal direction. The valving system is controlled by a compressor and timer. An optional vacuum system is provided to deliver the golf balls to the apparatus for introducing the golf balls into the air stream in those situations where gravity cannot be relied upon to deliver the golf balls to the entrance of the apparatus.
