  • Patent number: 5259622
    Abstract: Portable golf ball teeing apparatus includes a large container providing a supply of golf balls, a fixed resilient tee at a location distant from the container, and a conduit extending generally between the container and the tee. The container is attached to an entry end of the conduit and a resilient spout is fixed to an exit end of the conduit and extends to a location just short of the tee. The conduit is angularly positioned on a platform supporting the conduit so that balls from the container are caused to descend by gravity towards the exit end and the height of the exit end above the platform is adjustable. A dwell opening defined by a circular lip somewhat smaller in diameter than a golf ball is formed in an undersurface of the conduit intermediate its ends to receive and temporarily hold a golf ball.
