ABSTRACT:
A novelty item ejects a golf ball from a cup in a putting green. The golf ball ejector apparatus includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder movable relative to the outer cylinder. A compression spring is disposed beneath the inner cylinder and the inner cylinder includes a pair of slots which extend axially along the inner cylinder and a transversely or diametrically extending pin extends through the slots and is secured to the outer cylinder. The top of the inner cylinder includes a recess for receiving the golf ball. The top of the slots include recesses for receiving the pin to lock the inner cylinder downwardly relative to the outer cylinder and a golf ball falling onto the top of the inner cylinder causes the inner cylinder to move relative to the pin, and when the pin is out of the recesses the compression spring moves the inner cylinder, with the golf ball disposed thereon, upwardly to propel or eject the golf ball upwardly and out of the cup.
