ABSTRACT:
An automatic golf ball teeing apparatus comprised of a chamber placed beneath the ground. A hollow piston is mounted in the chamber for vertical movement between first and second positions. Mounted within the piston is a pair of vertically spaced apart members; each of the members are movable relative to the piston; mounted between the members is a first coil spring and mounted between the lower member and the lower end of the piston is a second coil spring. A sleeve is mounted around the piston and is movable relative thereto and extends above the piston when the piston is in a lowered position. The sleeve is connected to the lower member such that the sleeve and lower member move together relative to the piston. A stop element is located at the top of the chamber for engaging the sleeve as the piston moves towards the second position for stopping movement of the sleeve relative to the piston, the second coil spring urging the sleeve back to its initial position as the piston is moved to its first position. A ball tee is mounted on the upper end of the piston for receiving a ball when the piston is in the first position. A ball supply element of the apparatus is provided to automatically deposit a ball on the tee when the piston is in its first position, the supply of balls being automatically cut off by the sleeve when the piston is in its second position.
