ABSTRACT:
A golf ball teeing device which allows an impaired or elderly golfer to tee a golf ball without the need of bending over, the devices may also be used to retrieve balls from the ground, cup or water hazards. These goals are accomplished by the use of a long handled, golf club-like device with a spring loaded golf ball and tee holding device at its bottom end and a depressable knob at the top end. The golfer uses the device by depressing the knob, which opens the gap between the ball holder and tee holder, thereby allowing a golfer to place a tee and golf ball in the device. The user then places the device in an upright position and pushes the tee at the bottom end of the present invention into the ground, and again depresses the knob, releasing the tee and the ball in their desired position. The golfer may also depress the knob, causing the aforementioned gap to open, and allowing the golfer to place the gap over a golf ball that is on the ground. When the golfer releases the knob, the gap closes, securing the golf ball within the holding device. In this way, the golfer can use the present invention to pick up balls from the ground, cup and to retrieve balls from a water hazard.
