ABSTRACT:
A mechanical handling device for golf balls at a driving range, comprising a pivotally mounted balance or lever arm provided at one end with a tee adapted, in use, to receive and support a golf ball from a supply source, and provided at its other end with a weight sensitive transducer whereby, from a neutral start position, the arm/tee is initially pivoted downwardly under the influence of the weight of a ball arriving at the tee, such initial movement being sensed by the transducer to activate control means causing the arm/tee to be pivoted to an elevated, striking position, and loss of ball weight at the tee, after striking of the ball, also being sensed by the transducer to activate control means to cause the arm/tee to be pivotally returned to its neutral position. The invention also includes a driving range tee provided with a device.
