Full Description

The portable automatic golf ball teeing device is approximately 9 inches wide x 9 inches tall x 18 inches in length and is in the shape of a miniature golf bag. The device is portable and lightweight and currently is designed using a/c power. It can also run on battery power which is the preferred power source and can run at least several hundred cycles before the battery would need to to be recharged. It can accommodate approximately 3 - 4 dozen golf balls and has a unique feature that eliminates any type of ball jams.

This simple design also guarantees 100% accuracy and placement of the golf ball onto the tee without a misfire and is height-adjustable for the various range mat and tee sizes. A recent simplified improvement has been developed so that it will work on different mat thicknesses and different tee heights by making a simple adjustment. 

I also have a specially designed golf tee that will allow this device to be used on natural turf grass without the tee having to be reset due to being struck multiple times by a golf club. I have several designs that could be considered and either will work.

The distance from the device to the tee is approximately 14 inches.

It works like this. The device is located to the tee at the specified distance. The balls are then loaded into the tray and the unit is turned on. The device then senses the absence of a ball on the tee and starts up. It places the ball on the tee automatically which takes app. 5 seconds to cycle from start to stop. It  then goes into standby mode until the ball is hit or removed from the tee again.

This eliminates the need for the practice golfer to stoop over and place a ball onto the tee one at a time. When the ball is hit or removed from the tee the process is automatically repeated until all of the balls are used up.  

This unit is basically an electro mechanical device and has no circuit board. I designed and crafted the unit in my basement using basic tools etc. The device needs to be professionally prototyped and can be scaled down in size and weight. 

This is an upscale fully automatic portable device that can put the ball on a tee of any size with or without a mat every time consistently without error. It is not like those other devices that look like a bubble gum machine and are awkward to carry and require you to hit a lever.

This device is a top of the line device and fits into the golf schema and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

I am looking for a company or someone who has the expertise and financial means to get this to the marketplace. If this is something you are interested in please contact me to discuss further. Thanks
