A unitary golf accessory holder made of elastomeric material and comprising a body having a cylindrical wall defining a golf ball passage therein, an external longitudinal spine integral with said cylindrical wall and having a channel shaped wall, and an overlaying upper reinforcing partial annular rim forming an incomplete ring from which said spine and said cylindrical wall depend, the sides of said channel shaped spine wall joining adjacent edges of said rim whereby said rim may expand when a golf ball is inserted therethrough into said passage and contract back to its relaxed state after golf ball insertion;
- said cylindrical wall having a ball discharge aperture therein oriented on the opposite side of said passage from said spine.
A unitary golf accessory holder made of elastic material and comprising a body wall defining a ball passage therein, an external longitudinal spine integral with said cylindrical wall, and an overlaying upper reinforcing annular rim from which said spine and said cylindrical wall depend;
- said passage being configured to hold at least two golf balls, one on top of the other;
- said wall having a ball discharge aperture therein oriented on the opposite side of said passage from said spine;
- said rim having a plurality of longitudinally-oriented tee holes extending therethrough;
- and a wire clip secured to said spine for attaching said holder to a belt, belt loop, golf bag or golf cart;
- said tee holes being provided with internal longitudinal tee-contacting ribs whereby golf tees are gripped within said tee holes over a substantial portion of their shanks when inserted and extracted;
- a bottom ball support ring at the bottom of said passage, said ring having an annular ball support surface elevated above the base of said body whereby the underside of a golf ball supported by said ring will not protrude below the bottom edge of said holder;
- and said spine comprising a channel-shaped wall defining a channel open to said passage with the vertical plurality of tee holes in said spine arranged in pairs with one set of holes in one spine wall portion and the other set of holes in the opposing spine wall portion, the holes of each pair being axially aligned.
