An automatic golf practice course having a number of fairways, including a target area, a tee off area and a golf ball collecting/feeding assembly. The target area has a target to provide a reference for teeing and an inclined plate covered with artificial grass layers to form fairways. The inclined plate extends over an entire area of the fairways and is supported by distantly disposed bases with top surfaces having a same slope as the inclined plate. The golf balls falling from the inclined target area after being teed off are collected and fed by the collecting/feeding assembly to appear on a tee.
182 Golf ball dispenser and setter US567165 1990-08-13 US4995614A 1991-02-26 Mark L. Tange
A lightweight, manually portable apparatus includes an adjustable, horizontally disposed base having a vertically rising, and partially transparent ball storage housing affixed thereto. The storage housing is internally baffled to store a number of balls in a zigzagging, vertically rising single column. A pivotally attached ball selector is positioned adjacent a ball dispensing aperture of the storage housing. The selector will allow the separation of one ball at a time from the single column of stored balls. After selection, the selected ball rolls downhill and leaves the storage housing to come to rest against a first end of an elongated pivotally attached vertical delivery chute. The delivery chute pivots downward under the weight of the ball resting thereon. The ball rolls downhill toward a second end of the chute and drops through an aperture in the delivery chute to be deposited onto a playing surface. A counterweight attached to the first end of the chute causes the chute to pivot back to a vertical position after setting the ball. The delivery chute is disengagable when struck by a golf club, and the selector is specifically structured to maintain the stored balls within the storage housing with the delivery chute disengaged from the apparatus.

The gripper is operated by a solenoid and operation of the slide motor is achieved by microswitches.
186 Teeing device US771692 1985-09-03 US4741537A 1988-05-03 Alvin R. Adam
An apparatus for semiautomatically teeing up golf balls utilizing very low air pressure as an operating medium. Balls are loaded onto a contoured dish at the upper end of an open ended upright cylinder and pass from the dish into a flexible tube wrapped helically around the outside of the cylinder. The lower end of the tube is blocked by a ball dispenser. When a user trips a lever on the ball dispenser, one ball is permitted to roll to a stop above a hole in the hitting mat directly above the air operated teeing device. The teeing device includes a teeing tube attached vertically above an expandable chamber and extending just to the top surface of the hitting mat. A very low pressure stream of air constantly flows through the chamber and escapes via the teeing tube. When a golf ball comes to rest above the teeing tube, the escape of air is terminated, causing the expandable chamber to fill, thereby raising the teeing tube and the ball to the teed height. When the golf ball is struck from the teeing tube, the air again escapes from the expandable chamber, causing the teeing tube to recede into the hole in the hitting mat ready for the next ball to be teed.

190 Automatic golf ball teeing apparatus US182092 1980-08-28 US4355811A 1982-10-26 Louis E. Williams, Sr.
A golf ball teeing apparatus which utilizes a double-threaded shaft and its attendant pawl assembly as a mechanism to elevate replacement golf balls sequentially from a supply tube and hopper to a driving position, automatically, as the tee element and prior golf ball are struck by the golfer. When struck by a golf club, the spring-loaded tee element tilts forward causing the lower curved end of the tee element to strike a pressure-sensitive microswitch which, in turn, closes a holding relay actuating the fractional horsepower electrical motor for an operating cycle. The geared-down fractional horsepower motor slowly rotates the double-threaded shaft to which it is coupled, thereby lowering the pawl assembly and the piston supporting the tee assembly to the ball receiving position. At that point in the cycle, a golf ball is fed by gravity from a supply tube and nearby hopper onto the tee element. Then, in one continuous motion, the reverse thread of the rotating double-threaded shaft raises the pawl assembly, piston and tee assembly back up to the fully teed-up or driving position where a second microswitch is struck by a pin on the pawl assembly, opening the holding relay and stopping the fractional horsepower motor.
191 Automatic golf teeing devices US970062 1978-12-15 US4265453A 1981-05-05 Rupert H. C. Loof
A golf ball teeing apparatus to receive a ball from a magazine holding a plurality of balls and position the ball on a tee automatically upon a previous ball positioned on the tee being struck by a golf club. When a ball is driven off the tee, the tee deflects. This deflection actuates a first gate in the magazine to release one ball for movement onto a pivoted and counterweighted arm. The weight of the released ball pivots the arm to transfer that ball to the tee. At the tee, the ball rolls off the arm and the counterweight returns the arm to a position adjacent the magazine. As the arm returns to this position, it actuates a second gate in the magazine to permit one ball to move against the first gate in position to be released onto the arm when the teed ball has been driven.
192 Automatic golf ball teeing apparatus US629324 1975-11-06 US4017087A 1977-04-12 Philip Bruno
Golf apparatus for driving ranges and the like. A piston moves upwardly and downwardly in a cylinder below the ground level. Successive golf balls are taken one at a time from a supply of such balls, and raised by the piston either to turf level or to a tee level at an elevation somewhat above the turf level. When the ball is hit by a club, the decrease in weight against a pressure-sensitive switch carried by the piston, serves to close the switch to start an electric motor through the next cycle of operation. An adjustment is provided for determining whether the ball is to be raised only to the turf level, or all the way to the tee level. The adjustment feature of the apparatus also includes a control mechanism which serves to keep the pressure sensitive switch closed and keep the motor operating during the entire cycle of operation, notwithstanding that the weight of the ball during the upward travel from ball loading position to hitting position of the tee would tend to close the switch and stop the motor, if this control mechanism were not provided.
