  • Patent number: 5503394
    Abstract: A device which permits golfers to tee up a golf ball without needing to bend down to the ground to do so and which, in addition, provides a portable golf club stand. It utilizes an elongated spring-loaded tube disposed within an outer tube and having a golf ball holder and a gripper for a golf tee on one end thereof. Levers are arranged to permit release of the tee and ball when the unit has been inverted to set the tee in the ground. Adjustable spacers are provided to set the tee at the desired ground elevation. Grooves in the handle and a ground penetrating rod cooperate to have the unit function as a holder for up to four clubs.
