  • Patent number: 5040675
    Abstract: A golf accessory for dispensing golf balls and tees is constructed of a hollow preferably transparent tube of about 44" in length. Golf balls are maintained in the tube and are biased by a spring which extends from the top to the bottom of the hollow space within the tube when the tube is empty. Ingress and egress of golf balls occur towards the top of the tube on the sides where there is provided an expandable opening with an opposed opening, which may also be expandable, to urge golf balls into and out of the hollow of the tube. The hollow tube may hold up to a dozen golf balls. The top of the tube provides a container for tees, being outfitted with a removable plastic cap. The golfing accessory is to be used with and inserted into a typical golf bag much in the same fashion that a golf club is inserted and removed from the golf bag.
