ABSTRACT:
A ball tossing or teeing device (20) includes a housing (21) which carries an operating mechanism (22). A pedal (30) is depressible to actuate the operating mechanism (22) such that upon a single depression and release of pedal (30), the operating mechanism (22) launches a ball and positions another ball in place for launching. A chute (24) can be attached to the housing (21) and carries a tee (25). When the chute (24) is attached to the housing (21), the ball will move up the chute (24) and be placed on the tee (25) upon activation of the operating mechanism (22).
