ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for positioning a golf ball on a tee and for retrieving golf balls and tees. A hand-operated apparatus for setting golf balls on tees without requiring the golfer to bend is described. The device may also be used for retrieving golf balls and tees, and may itself be retrieved if dropped by using the handle of a golf club. The apparatus comprises a hollow outer shaft having a fixed handle at one end and a base for pivotably holding two golf ball encircling jaws at the other. An inner shaft, slidably disposed within the outer shaft and connected to a movable handle at one end, and jaw-actuating wires at the other permits a user to operate the jaws with one hand. A coil spring located between the fixed and movable handles provides a force therebetween, keeping the jaws closed in their normal position. A golf ball and tee placed within the jaws may be set in the ground by pushing on the fixed handle, and released from the apparatus, such that the golf ball remains on the tee, by pulling the movable handle against the operation of the spring.
