ABSTRACT:
A golf ball teeing apparatus provides a container for holding a plurality of golf balls and a dispensing mechanism for delivering the balls from the container to the driving tee. The dispensing mechanism and container are mounted on a frame which is secured to a base or mat. The golf ball teeing apparatus includes a pivoting mechanical channel arm with an integral blocking mechanism to dispense one golf ball at a time. The apparatus also includes an anti-jamming rods interlocked with the mechanical arm which agitates the golf ball in the container to prevent jamming of the balls about the discharge channel of the storage container. A stationary, fixed channel is integrally formed in the bottom of the container and includes an external extension and discharge end for directing the balls from a discharge opening in the container. A second channel is a pivoting, movable channel arm. One end of the channel arm is positioned at the discharge end of the fixed channel and is pivotably connected to the frame. The other end of the channel arm is provided with an aperture for depositing the golf ball on a tee.
