Golf ball and tee placement unit

Abstract

The present invention 10 discloses a golf/tee placement device having a housing 32 having a hopper 18 therein for the placement of a plurality of golf balls 14 and a canister for the placement of a plurality of tees 16. The housing uses compressed air to move a golf ball 14 and golf tee 16 away from the device and drive the tee 16 into the ground with the golf ball 14 placed thereon. Positioned on the exterior face of the housing 32 is a control panel 26 with user selectable variables such as the depth of the golf tee and the time duration for the placement of subsequent balls and tees. The device moves a tee 16 into the extending placement arm 22 using compressed air. In conjunction with the loading of the tee 16 a single ball 14 is released into the placement arm 22. Once positioned the placement arm 22 uses compressed air to extend it to full position whereupon a jet of compressed air drives the ball 14 and the tee 16 into the ground while opening the hinged element which retracts leaving the golf ball 14 and implanted tee 16 behind.
