ABSTRACT:
A golf ball dispenser and tee apparatus includes a cylindrical hopper for carrying a plurality of golf balls, a rotatable disc mounted in the hopper above the floor thereof with a plurality of holes, a cover for covering one of the holes when the hole is aligned with an opening in the floor of the hopper, so that the golf balls are discharged one at a time into an inclined tube, a motor for rotating the disc in the hopper, a coin operated switch for initiating operation of the motor, a gripper mounted on a slide at the end of the inclined tube for gripping a golf ball when actuated by a switch which is operated by the head of a club, and a second motor for moving the slide with the gripper outwardly to a position where the ball is deposited on a tee, and returning the slide and gripper to the rest position for gripping another ball. The gripper is operated by a solenoid and operation of the slide motor is achieved by microswitches.
