Abstract: A golf ball and tee placing aide for permitting a golfer to place a tee and ball into a teeing position without having to bend over includes an elongated tubular housing having a tee placement end and a ball placement end. The tee placement end includes a retaining assembly that automatically releases the golf tee upon insertion of the tee into the ground. A ball retaining assembly extends through the tubular housing to permit release of a golf ball by manipulation of a trigger mechanism remote from the ball placement end to permit placement of a golf ball on a golf tee while in an upright position.
