Abstract: A golf tee employs an elongated vertical element having a lower pointed end and a vertical axially disposed bore extending downward from the upper end to a point intermediate the ends. A pin has an enlarged horizontal head and a shaft extending vertically downward from said head. The shaft is disposed in fixed position in said bore with the head disposed above the upper end of the element. A first horizontal ring engages the shaft and is disposed between the head of the pin and the upper end of the element. The first ring is rotatable about the shaft. A second horizontal ring larger in diameter than the first ring has a central opening adapted to receive removably a bottom portion of a golf ball. A horizontally elongated member composed of a plurality of inter-twisted strands is secured at one end to the periphery of the first ring, the other end of the member being secured to the periphery of the second ring.
