Abstract: A golf ball and tee set includes cooperative first and second jaw legs arranged to secure a golf ball and tee member, wherein an outer sleeve is cooperative with a support post, wherein displacement of the sleeve relative to the support post effects closure of the first and second jaw legs to provide for cooperative conical recesses and bores to secure the golf tee, with the golf ball secured between the legs positioned over the golf tee. A modification of the invention is arranged to include a golf ball cleaning structure mounted to the sleeve to provide for pre-cleaning of the golf ball prior to use.
