Claim:
A golf ball teeing device comprising: an upright housing, having three upstanding walls, and a base, a top portion hingedly attached to the top of the upright housing, a tee pad having a golf tee thereon, the tee pad hingedly attached to the upright housing at the base such that it forms a fourth upstanding wall of the housing when in a closed position and pivots perpendicular to the closed position to form an open position providing a golf tee to place golf balls on, the upright housing having a hinged lid with a handle on top of the hinged lid for carrying the golf ball teeing device, the lid having a ridge for engaging a latch on the tee pad for locking the tee pad in the closed position when the lid is closed over the top portion, a sloped ramp in the top portion forms a golf ball magazine such that golf balls placed therein will roll to the lower end of the ramp, an aperture at the lower end of the ramp for golf balls to drop through and enter the housing, a ramp in the housing for receiving golf balls from the top portion, the ramp sloping from the top portion toward the base of the housing, a ball stopping peg extending across the ramp for blocking further progress of the golf balls down the ramp, an aperture in the ramp upstream of the ball stopping peg and adjacent thereto for a golf ball to rest in and to depress a ball engaging arm of an activating pedal lever pivotably attached to the housing, and having a pedal on the opposite end of the activating pedal lever from the ball engaging arm, a perpendicular outgoing ramp downstream of the ball stopping peg, for receiving golf balls passing over the ball stopping peg by dint of the arm of the activating pedal lever, when the pedal thereon is depressed, a tilting ramp pivotally connected to the housing, and cooperating with the outgoing ramp, for tilting downward when a golf ball from the outgoing ramp engages it, the ramp being counterbalanced to remain upright when there are no golf balls engaging it and tilting down allowing a golf ball to roll to the end thereof when the tee pad is perpendicular to the upright housing, an aperture at the end of the tilting ramp to allow a golf ball to pass therethrough, and place the golf ball on the tee mounted on the tee pad and aligned with the aperture in the tilting ramp.
