A container for golf balls receives the golf balls into a bore of a resilient tube where they are held by combined frictional and deformational forces. The balls are released by a peristaltic squeezing of the outer soft sides of the container.

[ We claim:] [1.] A golf ball container comprising:a resilient elastic polymer foam tube having an inner uncompressed diameter less than the diameter of a regulation golf ball, an inner surface of the tube deformable outwardly to admit at least one golf ball therein, an outer surface of the tube deformable inwardly to expel a golf ball therefrom;a separate outer fabric sleeve coaxially surrounding the resilient elastic polymer foam tube to resist outward deformation of the outer surface of the tube; andwherein the outer fabric sleeve includes a hem of folded fabric around at least one end of the sleeve, the hem providing an inwardly extending lip of fabric engaging a corresponding end of the resilient tube.
