BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001]1. Field of the Invention [0002]The present invention relates to the field of golfing, and more particularly to golf ball teeing devices. [0003]2. Description of Prior Art [0004]Golf ball teeing devices have been proposed that allow a golfer to tee a golf ball without having to bend the back or knees, as is required when manually teeing a golf ball. It is to improvements in such devices that the present invention is directed. What is particularly needed is a teeing device that does not have to be repeatedly attached and detached from a golf club, which is unobtrusive when not in use, and which allows the tee to be conveniently retrieved following a drive. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005]The foregoing problems are solved and an advance in the art is achieved by a golf ball teeing device that includes a base adapted to mount to a golf club grip end and a ball carrier on the base. The ball carrier is positionable between an operational position for carrying a golf ball and a stowage position wherein a golf club on which the teeing device is mounted may be used to make a golf shot. During use, a golfer positions the ball carrier in the operational position and places a golf ball thereon. Using the teeing device, the golfer places the golf ball on a golf tee, then disengages the ball carrier and positions it in the stowage position. A self-righting golf tee may be used with the teeing device so that the golfer is not required to bend down to the ground at any time during the teeing operation. The self-righting golf tee may be tossed on the ground and tamped as necessary (e.g., using the golf club) to place it in a stable golf ball-receiving position. Optionally, the ball carrier of the teeing device may thereafter be used to retrieve the golf tee.
