ABSTRACT:
The device includes a gravity ball feed to an elevator component having a tee on the upper end thereof. The raising of the tee is operated electrically and the lowering thereof is by gravity. The electric motor turns a gear engaging a rack on the elevator component and a player actuated switch causes the elevator component with a ball on the tee to rise into the desired position. When fully raised, a further, internal switch actuated by the gear stops the motor while the golfer strikes the ball. The first switch is again actuated by the player and the gear having a segment of the teeth removed, disengages from the rack which falls by gravity to pick up another ball whereupon the teeth once again engage the rack and re-commence the tee raising sequence.
