Abstract: A golfing aid includes an elongated cylindrical member having a passage which runs the length thereof. One end of the cylindrical member is provided with a resilient cup-like element designed to grip a golf ball. A rod extends through the cylindrical member and projects from the other end thereof. The projecting part of the rod is formed with a knob which is urged away from the cylindrical member by a spring. When the spring holds the knob away from the cylindrical member, the rod is in a retracted position in which the end of the rod opposite the knob is inside the cylindrical member. The knob can be depressed against the action of the spring to move the rod to an extended position in which the end of the rod opposite the knob projects into the cup-like element to eject a golf ball therefrom. A magnetic or magnetizable button on the knob holds a magnetic or magnetizable washer serving as a marker.
