ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for picking up one golf ball and placing it on a tee includes two telescoping tubular members, and spring biased fingers at the lower end to grip a golf ball. The inner tubular member is movable outwardly to push the golf ball out of the grip of the fingers, and a spring biased inner tubular member is in retracted position further inside the outer tubular member until ready to dispense the golf ball from the grip of the fingers. A pair of removable legs engage the outer tubular member to allow the apparatus to stand generally upright. Another embodiment employs a resilient cup member in lieu of the spring biased fingers at the lower end, such cup member frictionally gripping a golf ball and releasing same by a selective dispensing force exerted on the golf ball by the inner tubular member.
