  • Magnetically Attached Golf Tee
    Publication number: 20130310200
    Abstract: A Magnetically Attached Golf Tee (MAGT) consisting of an upper section and a lower section. The upper section has an upper concave surface that supports a golf ball and a lower flat surface that has attached an upper permanent magnet. The lower section has a lower pointed end that is inserted into the ground and an upper flat surface that has attached a lower permanent magnet. When the two magnets interface, the MAGT can be used as a conventional golf tee. When the upper section is struck by a golf club, the upper section separates from the lower section without causing damage to the MAGT. The separated upper section can be retrieved and re-attached to the lower section, allowing the MAGT to be reused numerous times.
