ABSTRACT:
An improved golf teeing apparatus adapted to automatically tee a predetermined number of golf balls in time sequences selected by the golfing participant. The apparatus comprises a housing having a ball inlet opening in a side portion thereof, a housing cover assembly having a tee access opening therein, and a ball hopper connected to the housing via a ball delivery conduit such that gravitational single file ball travel is achieved through the ball delivery conduit to the ball inlet opening of the housing. A ball support assembly is disposed within the housing for receiving one ball at a time from the ball delivery conduit, and for supporting the golf ball at a selected height above the housing cover so that the golf ball can be struck by a golf club. The ball support assembly includes a vertically disposed tubular member having a ball receiving opening communicating with the ball inlet opening of the housing, and a piston member disposed within the tubular member. The piston member is operably connected to a power assembly such that the piston member is movable between a lower position, and an upper position. The piston member biases the remaining balls within the ball delivery conduit away from the ball receiving opening as the piston is moved from the lower position to the upper position.
