ABSTRACT:
An above-ground device that semi-automatically tees golf balls at practice areas such as driving ranges, without requiring the golfer to bend down and tee each golf ball by hand following each practice shot. The device comprises a U-shaped conduit which is embedded in the foam rubber backing of the playing surface mat typically found at a teeing area of a driving range in such a way that the openings in the conduit directly communicate with two holes drilled though the playing surface mat so as to create a continuous pathway between the two holes through the conduit. A semi-rigid rod is inserted into the conduit of such length that when one end is flush with the playing surface mat the other end protrudes above the playing surface mat approximately to the height of a standard golf tee. The ends of the rod are flared to substantially the shape of a standard golf tee.
