Abstract: A golf tee with tactile height adjustment includes a cup formed to receive and retain a golf ball. From the underside of the cup, a continuously threaded shaft extends and is formed with a longitudinal flat portion. A stop is formed with a threaded bore having threads complementary to those threads formed on the threaded shaft. Extending outward from the flat portions of the shaft are tactile engagement posts formed to engage the threads of the threaded stop as it threads along the threaded shaft. The engagement posts provide for the self cleaning of the threads of the golf tee, and also provides a tactile response including a distinct resistance to rotation of the threaded stop when the stop contacts the tactile posts. More specifically, when the threaded stop is positioned on the shaft adjacent a engagement post, the rotation of the stop is more difficult than rotation at a position on the shaft having no engagement post.

Abstract: Disclosed is a golf tee structure that is easy to use and move and prevents the loss and damage of the tee, thereby providing convenience in use and economical efficiency to a user. The golf tee structure of the present invention includes a hooker formed on the one side of a body, for carrying the golf tee structure, a plurality of tee-inserting holes formed on the other side of the body, into which three tees having different length from each other are inserted and fitted, and a coupling string connecting the body and each tee, for preventing each tee from being deviated from the body. Preferably, each tee includes a body made of a malleably synthetic resin and a metal pin on the lower portion thereof, as an integral body therewith, such that since the metal pin is driven into the ground when in use, the tee is not broken or lost. Further, the hooker formed on the body of the golf tee structure is adapted to be hooked on the loop for pants belt of a player.

Abstract: A new golf tee that increases the distance obtained on a drive is described. The tee increases driving distance by minimizing the energy absorbed by the tee when it is struck by the golf club. By absorbing less energy from the club head, the new tee minimizes the amount club head speed is reduced at impact, which translates into increased driving distance. The new tee also aids the golfer by providing a structure that allows the golfer to easily and consistently determine the amount the tee has been inserted into the ground.

Abstract: A golf tee has a collar thereon which forms a stop when the tee is placed in the ground to set the top of the tee at a predetermined height above the ground. The collar position is set in separate tees for each golf club and for each golfer so that when the ball is placed on the tee, the head of the golf club will strike the ball at an optimum position, as may be desired. A modification of the basic device uses an extension piece which fits into the top of the tee so that the same tee can be adapted by using different length extension pieces to satisfy various height requirements. This extension piece has a tee seat for the ball on one end and a pin on the other end which fits into a hole formed in the ball seat of the tee.

Abstract: An adjustable golf practice tee is presented. The adjustable golf practice tee is used at a driving range for practicing a wide variety of golf shots. The adjustable golf practice tee includes a base portion and a base portion extension which has a tee pivotally attached thereto. The adjustable golf practice tee is adjustable in height, such that the user can select a personal preference for the height of the shot being practiced. Additionally, since the adjustable golf practice tee incorporates a tee which closely resembles a regulation golf tee used during a round of golf, the look and feel experienced by the user when using the adjustable golf practice tee is more like the actual shots the user will be employing during a round of golf.

Abstract: A golf tee setting device is used for adjustably positioning a golf tee into a ground surface. The golf tee setting device includes a body made of a rigid material and at least one receptacle formed in the body for partially receiving the golf tee. The receptacle is formed to have a predetermined length shorter than a length of the golf tee so that a lower end of the golf tee is exposed from the body such that the height of the golf tee with respect to the ground surface is consistent. Preferably, the receptacle is substantially perpendicular to a bottom of the body. The receptacle is configured substantially in a shape of an inverse pyramid such that the receptacle tapers from a wider top portion to a narrower lower portion. There may be two or more receptacles formed in the body, each receptacle configured to receive the golf tee. Each receptacle is configured to receive the golf tee and to have different length than the other receptacles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for practice of a golf drive is set forth. The ball is driven from a simulated tee area against an upright sheet of flexible material such as heavy cotton ducking or nylon mesh. This sheet is deployed in a vertical upright position in the open doorway of a garage or under the eave thereof and is supported by at least two corner located taut bunge cords. An optional third is located at a center point. The several cords hold the sheets in a resilient fashion so that it can yield and snap back in response to a golf ball driven against the sheet. In an alternate form, a rectangular sheet connects on three sides to a safety net and the net connects to a frame having a central horizontal portion.

Abstract: A golf swing trainer consists of a support base for supporting a vertical shaft, the shaft having a flexible horizontal shaft extending from it and having at its other end a golf tee upon which a golf ball can rest. The horizontal shaft is capable of moving up and down in a vertical direction on the vertical shaft and remains relatively fixed to the vertical shaft by a suitable means. A player would practice using the golf swing trainer by hitting golf balls placed on the tee, initially when the horizontal shaft is at a high position relative to the support shaft, and when the player become adept at hitting the ball at the high position, the horizontal shaft would gradually be lowered, so that the player would be hitting the ball at lower and lower positions. This promotes the proper swing plane for the golf swing.
