A golf ball and tee setting apparatus allows a golf tee to be set in the ground and a golf ball placed thereon without the golfer having to bend over. An elongated shaft has two end portions and a ball supporting member on one end portion of the shaft and a bore on the other end of the elongated shaft. A golf tee is releasably held in the shaft bore for insertion into the earth. The shaft can then e rotated to a golf ball supporting end and a golf ball placed on the tee.
