ABSTRACT:
A light, portable and manually-operated golf ball teeing unit which permits a golfer to position a golf ball on a golf tee without bending over and to press the tee into the ground with the ball positioned on the tee. A tee with an associated golf ball is placed in a locked position between a pair of support means which hold the tee and golf ball. The support means are maintained in the closed position by a spring tension device. The tee so positioned is then pressed into the ground by manually forcing the device downward or by applying foot pressure to a footrest affixed to the device for the manual pressure. When the tee is in the ground, two handles are pivoted apart which causes the support means to pivot apart to allow the device to be removed without interfering with the ball on the tee. Stop posts are provided to limit the amount of pivot of the support means. An auxiliary ball feed can be provided for supplying a number of successive balls to the support means.
