ABSTRACT:
The golf ball dispensing and teeing device of this invention has an elongated ball dispensing arm pivotally secured to a frame. The arm has a loading end and a dispensing end. A spring connects the arm to the frame while normally holding the loading end at a lower elevation than the dispensing end. A tubular member on the frame above the loading end is adapted to hold a plurality of golf balls comprised of a lower ball with a column of balls supported on the lower ball. The loading end of the arm has a dispensing block with a curved notch for holding the lower ball when the dispensing end is at a raised elevation, and for releasing the lower ball when the dispensing end is lower than the lower ball. The dispensing block is aligned with the arm so that when the arm is lowered the lower ball will roll down the arm from the loading end. A tee element on the frame below the dispensing end receives the lower ball when the arm is lowered. The tubular member has an upper end with a horizontal plate thereon with an opening to pass a single golf ball therethrough. A plurality of vertically disposed ball compartments are rotatably mounted on the plate with each having an open end adapted to register with the opening in the plate to selectively dispense balls through the opening when the compartments are rotated.
