ABSTRACT:
A golf ball elevator includes a tube connected to a suction manifold and elevates golf balls to any desired height. The tube has at least one suction opening in the wall of the tube. The suction manifold covers the suction opening in the tube and draws a partial vacuum in the tube allowing golf balls to travel upwards inside the tube from a lower level to any desired height. At the desired height, the golf balls are released into a container or into another independent location. The golf ball elevator can swivel about its axis to allow the golf balls to be dispensed to surrounding locations. The golf ball elevator can also be connected to a conventional golf ball washer and dryer.
