ABSTRACT:
An automatic golf ball dispenser includes a loading assembly, a base, and a delivery assembly. The loading assembly includes a bowl and a supply tube. The volume of the bowl is structured to hold a large quantity of golf balls. The bowl is sized to snugly fit into the supply tube. The base includes a platform, a tee, and a projection. The loading assembly is rigidly connected to the base, but may be quickly removed. A tee is fastened to the platform at the opposite end thereof. The delivery assembly comprises a delivery tube, a loading interface, a stop, and a plug. The loading interface is fastened to the first end of the delivery tube. The first end of the delivery assembly is pivotally connected to the loading assembly at substantially the second end thereof. A stop is fastened to the bottom of the delivery tube at the first end thereof. When the delivery tube is swung downward, a ball falls through a first cutout of the delivery tube and rolls to a second cutout of the delivery tube. The ball falls through the second cutout and rests on the tee. The delivery assembly then retracts to an upright position. The delivery tube may be actuated in a semi-automatic or fully automatic mode.
