Such structure includes a passageway and a wheel having a resilient outer circumferential surface defined by a plurality of substantially radially extending bristles thereon. The receptacle has an openable and closable gate at one end thereof through which the predetermined number of golf balls therein are dispensed. Structure is also provided for rotating the wheel to fill the receptacle until the predetermined number of golf balls are filled therein after the gate is closed after discharge of the golf balls therefrom.
