Abstract: A practice/playing golf tee that is substantially indestructible. It includes a screw up/down golf tee head. When the head is screwed down the insertion tip parameter of the tee can be used. The insertion tip at the top of the tee goes into one of the existing holes in a practice golf ball or a regulation golf ball in which hole (s) are incorporated to accomadate the insertion tip.
