Abstract: A golf ball placement device including a housing, a golf ball container, a actuator which can be actuated to place a golf ball, a tube which can hold a golf ball at its vertical position and place the golf ball at a particular position after being rotated to a horizontal position, and a transmission linkage that links the motion of the actuator to the pivotal motion of the tube is disclosed. The transmission linkage is properly balanced using springs and/or weights so that only a minimum force is needed to actuate the actuator in order to place a golf ball. The device may further include a tee height adjuster to adjust the extent of the rotation of tube to enable the device to dispense a golf ball at a proper height. The device may further optionally include a cover and a place to hold an advertisement. The device may be further made into an ultra portable model by adding a side cover which can be partially flipped open to serve as a golf practice tee.
