ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, manually portable apparatus includes an adjustable, horizontally disposed base having a vertically rising, and partially transparent ball storage housing affixed thereto. The storage housing is internally baffled to store a number of balls in a zigzagging, vertically rising single column. A pivotally attached ball selector is positioned adjacent a ball dispensing aperture of the storage housing. The selector will allow the separation of one ball at a time from the single column of stored balls. After selection, the selected ball rolls downhill and leaves the storage housing to come to rest against a first end of an elongated pivotally attached vertical delivery chute. The delivery chute pivots downward under the weight of the ball resting thereon. The ball rolls downhill toward a second end of the chute and drops through an aperture in the delivery chute to be deposited onto a playing surface. A counterweight attached to the first end of the chute causes the chute to pivot back to a vertical position after setting the ball. The delivery chute is disengagable when struck by a golf club, and the selector is specifically structured to maintain the stored balls within the storage housing with the delivery chute disengaged from the apparatus.
