ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for successively and automatically teeing up golf balls utilizing a source of vacuum as an operating media. A bank of golf balls are loaded on an inclined ramp in a reservoir positioned at one side of the tee position. Axially aligned, vertically disposed sleeves disposed below an opening in a horizontal base, slidably support an elongated tube having a golf ball supporting tubular tee on its upper end movable to a position above and below the plane of the base. A cylindrical wall diaphragm on the depending end of the elongated tube when evacuated, retracts the tube and tee for receiving a golf ball on the tee by golf balls successively rolling down an inclined ramp from a reservoir above the base to the top of the tee where a golf ball interrupts the air flow through the elongated tube reducing air pressure therein and contracting the diaphragm wall to elevate the tube to a teed-up golf ball driving position above the base.
