The rotary disk 214 is disposed on the fixed disk 212 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the fixed disk 212, and is rotated by a motor.

The locking protrusions 216 are disposed radially from the rotation disc 214 and rotated according to the rotation of the rotation disc 214 to transfer the golf ball to the tee-up part 300. The number of the locking protrusions 216 may be two to six. In this embodiment, five locking projections 216 are shown. In this embodiment, the engaging projections are arranged to be spaced apart from the fixed disk by a predetermined interval. Accordingly, when the golf ball is transferred to the tee-up part 300, vinyls and dusts of artificial grass, which are deposited on the surface of the golf ball, may fall downward of the fixed disc, so that the vinyls and dusts of the artificial grass may be more smoothly. Can be removed

As such, when only the rotating disc 214 is rotated, the golf ball can be transferred to the tee-up part 300, thereby lowering the driving force of the motor required for driving the inclined disc part 210.

A separate guide wall 218 may be provided around the inclined disc part 210. The guide wall 218 prevents the golf ball conveyed upward by the rotation of the rotation disk 214 is separated from the central axis of the rotation disk 214 to flow out.
