Problems solved by technology

If the golf ball is not consistently placed the same distance (height) from the ground, however, the golfer's ability to properly strike (hit) the golf ball with a golf club will be adversely affected.
For example, if the golfer tees too high (that is, adjusts the golf ball on the golf tee too high with respect to the ground surface), when the golf ball is hit, it will tend to be directed too far upward instead of outward.
As a result, teeing too high and teeing too low both tend to limit the distance the golf ball can be carried.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIGS. 1 and 2 each show a golf tee 10 equipped with the marking means 20 of this invention. FIG. 1 shows a golf tee 10 that is of conventional dimensions while FIG. 2 shows a golf tee 10 that is longer and more slender. It should be noted that the marking means 20 of this invention can be used with the golf tees of FIGS. 1 and 2 as well as any golf tee chosen with sound engineering judgment. This invention will thus work with golf tees formed of any material (including, but not limited to, wood, plastic, composites both natural and manmade) and having any dimensions.

[0016] With continuing reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, each golf tee 10 has a head portion 12 and a stem portion 14. As is commonly known in the art, the head portion 12 accepts a golf ball (not shown) and thus typically includes a recess 16 that re...

Abstract

A golf tee having a head portion for use in supporting a golf ball and a stem portion for use in supporting the golf tee into the ground is provided. The stem portion has at least a first mark for indicating the distance between the head portion and the ground surface. Preferably, a plurality of equally spaced and colored bands is positioned along the longitude of the stem portion.

Description

1. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001] A. Field of Invention[0002] This invention relates to the art of golf tees, and more specifically, to golf tees having at least a first mark for indicating the tee height, that is, the distance between the golf ball that rests on the golf tee and the ground surface.[0003] B. Description of the Related Art[0004] Golf tees are well known in the art. Known golf tees are sufficient for their intended purpose, namely, holding the golf ball above the ground so that a golfer may strike or hit the golf ball with a golf club. If the golf ball is not consistently placed the same distance (height) from the ground, however, the golfer's ability to properly strike (hit) the golf ball with a golf club will be adversely affected. Thus, properly teeing the golf ball (the action of placing the golf tee into the ground and then placing a golf ball on the tee is termed "teeing") is a critical aspect of playing golf. For example, if the golfer tees too high (that is...
