ABSTRACT:
A trough is pivotally mounted to a central standard and can rotate through approximately 90.degree. from a rest position to a ball dispensing position above a golf ball tee. The trough, which holds golf balls and may be replenished from a hopper, includes a dispensing head at the outboard end, which is constructed to allow passage of a golf ball therethrough. The head is pivotally attached to the outboard end and can be moved from a ball detent position to a ball release position and vice versa, with the head normally being urged to the detent position by means of a small weight or by gravity. When the head is tipped forwardly to the dispensing position, a detent clears the front ball of the chute or trough which then moves forwardly by gravity so that it is held temporarily between the front of the head and the rear of the aperture through which it will pass. As the head is tipped rearwardly, the detent engages behind the front ball and checks the forward movement of the next ball and at the same time widens the gap between the front of the head and the rear of aperture thus releasing the ball which is deposited upon the tee.
