A golf tee holder and dispenser in a rectangular form holds a vertical stack of tees lying one on another horizontally, with successive tees alternating the orientation of their heads and their points. The golf tee holder and dispenser housing includes inner chambers that encase springs that allow straight-line movement as well as an inner center chamber to prevent tees from becoming disarranged while dispensing. A pusher plate maintains even pressure from dual spring movement against a snub point to hold golf tees in a stationary position until release through a top aperture using a teeter action once a downward pressure is applied to small end of tee by user. A molded element that has a memory retentive factor allows user to attach golf tee holder and dispenser to belt, pocket, golf bag, or golf cart.
A golf tee holder and dispenser comprised of dimension slightly larger than golf tees to be carried and dispensed;
The apex of said holder and dispenser is curved to accept said application of force from user's finger against the topmost golf tee point downward and toward said dispensing aperture to effect release of a golf tee from said stack through said dispensing aperture.
Said apex of said holder and dispenser has said curved shape to accommodate snub point to inhibit upward movement of golf tees and allows teeter action of golf tees when said user applies said force against the topmost golf tee point downward and toward said dispensing aperture to effect release of a golf tee from said stack through said dispensing aperture.
A memory retentive clip on back panel of said holder and dispenser allows maximum expansion for attachment means to user's side, bag, or golf cart;

The game of golf has become increasingly popular as a recreational sport today. However, golf is a difficult and often somewhat frustrating game. As a part of the game, most golfers typically tend to break tees while teeing off, which is at the beginning of every hole while playing either nine or eighteen holes of golf.
Many golfers typically like to keep extra golf tees, et cetera, on their person so they will have a golf tee within easy reach when needed instead of having to dig through their golf bag every time a golf tee, et cetera, is needed. Typically, the simplest place for golfers to keep extra tees, et cetera, is in their pants pocket.
FIG. 1 is a perspective front view of preferred embodiment of the golf tee holder and dispenser showing user applying downward pressure or small end of tee to activate teeter motion for removal of golf tee.
FIG. 2 is a top view of preferred embodiment showing top aperture and pusher plate; also shown is snub positioning and top view of molded element attached to preferred structure or figure. Also shown is molded form to hold springs and showing inner chamber to prevent disarrangement of tees.
FIG. 3 is a vertical cross section showing placement of inner moving parts and showing molded clip that allows expansion for different thickness of object to which golf tee holder and dispenser is attached.
