ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the placement of a golf ball onto a Tee includes a triangular shaped top plate and an attached back plate disposed at an angle with respect to the top plate. Adhesive tape or a hook and loop fastener are attached to the inside portions of the top and back plate. The adhesive tape, if used, adheres the top and back plates to a top and back surface of a golf club. If the hook and loop fastener is used, a corresponding part of the fastener is attached to the top and back surfaces of the golf club. A neck is attached to the interface where the top and back plates intersect. A pair of arcuate forks each attach to the neck and extend away from the top plate in a small and generally upward arc that aligns with the arc of the club when swung. The forks can be used to scoop up the golf ball or pressed down over the ball until they expand sufficient to allow passage over the ball and contraction under the ball sufficient to retain the ball in place. The club is then maneuvered so as to place the ball on the Tee. A gap is provided intermediate each of the pair of forks that allows passage of the device past the Tee. The club is then used to strike (impel) the ball with the device attached thereto.
