ABSTRACT:
A hands-free golf ball teeing device (10) which allows a golfer to tee a golf ball, at a driving range, without having to bend over or to squat down to place the ball on the tee. The device (10) consists of a base (12) from where extends upward a structure (20). The structure (20) incorporates on one side a ramp channel (40) to which is pivotally attached a golf ball ramp (50) which includes a golf ball retaining bore (96) and a longitudinal golf ball channel (98). On the opposite side of the structure (20) is a lever plate (130). To operate the device (10) the lever plate (130) is depressed, with a golf club or the like, which then applies a force to the lower surface (62) of the golf ball ramp (50). This force is sufficient to overcome the magnetic force supplied by two permanent magnets (120,122) which are positioned to maintain the ramp (50) in a lowered position. When the ramp is in the raised position, a golf ball is easily guided up the channel (40) on the golf ball ramp (50) and into the golf ball retaining bore (96). Pressure from a golf club is then applied to the upper surface (60) of the ramp (50) to allow the ramp to be placed in the lowered position. At this time, the golf ball (170) is situated on top of the tee (150) ready to be struck by a golfer.
