ABSTRACT:
A teeing device utilizing hopper storage of golf balls for gravitational passage of a ball past a toggle like ball release mechanism for ball placement on a reciprocating tee assembly. A platform supports the hopper structure and provides a supporting surface for the golfer and is preferably supported in a removable manner enabling reorientation of the platform and hopper to suit right or left handed golfers with respect to a driving range or the like. An oscillating arm is driven through a cycle of operation by a circular cam plate on which a switch arm rides. A mercury switch carried by the arm closes a motor circuit upon the golfer momentarily depressing one end of the switch arm with the rotating cam plate thereafter retaining the switch arm in an inclined, switch closing position until a follower on the switch arm again seats within a cam plate recess.
