ABSTRACT:
A gravity activated golf ball storage, dispensing and teeing apparatus comprises a cylinder for storing a plurality of golf balls, an articulated arm rotatable about a horizontal axis for delivering a golf ball onto a tee and an open wall tube which delivers the golf balls in an aligned serial array from the cylinder to the arm. The arm is weighted to be stabilized in a substantially vertical orientation until the golfer pulls the arm toward the tee and into a substantially horizontal position. An aperature, slightly smaller than a golf ball, in the open wall tube, prevents more than one ball from being dispensed onto the tee during each rotation of the arm. A preferred embodiment provides a golf ball storage container having spring-biased ball retention flaps to hold a predetermined number of balls until the container is attached to the cylinder and releases the balls.
