Benefits of technology

[0011] It is a primary but not the sole object of the invention to provide a method and packaging for marketing golf tees so as to render it more convenient for golfers in using the tees during a round of golf.
[0012] In a broader sense it is an object of the invention to market golf tees in a package containing golf tees of different lengths. It is also an object of the invention to place indicia on the tees to indicate their length at a glass, thereby facilitating the tee selection process by the golfer for each hole.

Problems solved by technology

If the ball height is too low, the ball will tend to not achieve optimal vertical height and it may not, therefore, travel very far horizontally down the fairway.
Unfortunately, many golfers, before starting a round of golf, typically grab a handful of tees from a bucket containing tees which are all the same standard length.
The result is usually a less than optimum drive off the tee.
