Patent number: 6729965Abstract: A portable machine for delivering golf balls one at a time onto a tee or a surface simulating a fairway. A bin holds a quantity of practice balls and has a turntable underlying it. An opening on the turntable provides a ball pocket which receives one ball at a time and carries the ball around a circular path to a position aligned above a chute. Each ball delivered by the chute is discharged onto a fairway area or into an inclined trough, depending on how the chute is oriented. At the bottom end of the trough, a tee is raised to tee each ball up at a high or low height, depending upon the setting of a selector switch. A platform which provides a surface on which the user stands is detachable to allow the machine to be carried and stored in two separate pieces.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Harmsway, LLCInventors: Bill Eugene Howard, James C.
