    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.
