Abstract:
A storage means holds a quantity of golf balls for automatic placement upon a tee. An gating mechanism releases a single ball to roll by gravity power to a ball holder. Upon activation by the user an extendable arm causes the ball holder to be positioned over the tee, then the extendable arm rotates downwardly, leaving the ball upon the tee. A sensor signals a controller to reverse a motor, retracting the extendable arm fully. Upon full retraction a next golf ball is released to the ball holder. The user activates a new cycle by placing a golf club head in the vicinity of the invention. The invention may be battery powered and is small enough to be used anywhere.
