Golf tee leveling device
a golf tee and leveling technology, which is applied in the field of golf tee leveling devices, can solve the problems of not being properly aligned, not being able to accurately ascertain horizontal or vertical alignment, and adding to the difficulty so as to add to the difficulty and challenge of the course, without improving the position of the tee, and add to the challenge and complexity of the gam

Benefits of technology
"The patent text discusses the challenges of hitting a ball on a golf course, especially on uneven surfaces. The text explains that a tee box is designed to be level, but sometimes it is not properly aligned. This can cause the ball to take an unintended trajectory when hit. The text also mentions that the tee height should be consistent from hole to hole and from club to club to ensure consistent performance. The invention aims to address these issues."
Problems solved by technology
This adds to the challenge and the complexity of the game.
A tee that is not properly aligned is a common phenomenon that arises from the fact that a player must bend over from the waist to insert the tee into the ground, and cannot adequately ascertain the horizontal or vertical alignment of the tee from this bent position.
As with the vertical alignment of the tee, the height is very difficult to gauge when inserting the tee into the ground on the tee box.

Embodiment Construction
[0008]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the inventive leveling device. The body 1 of the leveling device can take the shape of a ball cut in half with the rounded part being the lower end of the device. The shape of the leveling device is preferably constructed as a body having a top flat surface on an upper enlarged section on one end and a lower section that slowly tapers or becomes more slender toward the other end. The leveling device could also take the shape of a “spin top” used by children. The upper enlarged section has a ring 2 provided thereon which supports or has attached thereto a sight glass 3. As is well known a sight glass has a bubble 10a therein which is floating in the fluid 10 contained in the sight glass (FIG. 3) therein which determines the exact horizontal position when lined up with a centered sight ring in the center of the domed glass. The bottom of the tapered body 1 has a recess 5 therein to receive the head of a golf tee therein.

A device for placing a golf tee in a perfect vertical position. Said device consists of a body having an enlarged upper section and a tapered lower section pointing toward the ground. The bottom of the tapered lower section has a recess therein to receive a golf tee head which tee is to be pushed into the ground. The top of the enlarged upper section of the body receives a ring to which a domed glass sight glass is attached. The sight glass has a liquid therein including a bubble which will center itself in the dome when the body is perfectly horizontal. The golf tee will be placed perfectly in a vertical position when pushed into the ground and the bubble is centered in the dome. There is a lateral extension on a side of said body which has a sleeve thereon. A depth determining pin is frictionally received within the sleeve. The depth pin has markings thereon so that a predetermined depth can be achieved when the golf tee is pushed into ground.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The golf Tee leveling device is used in the game of playing golf. The game of golf is played on a course, typically made up of either 9 or 18 holes. Each hole has a well designated starting area called a tee box. The rules of golf allow the player to insert a tee, a small peg with a concave top upon which the ball rests, into the ground for the purposes of hitting an initial shot (tee shot) toward the hole. On the tee box, the player inserts the tee into the ground by pushing it downward, and places the ball on top of the tee onto the concave top. The height and the vertical alignment of the tee are left to the discretion of the player and may be adjusted to a player's personal preference. The Golf Tee Leveling Device addresses both the height and the vertical alignment of the inserted tee, allowing the player consistency from hole to hole. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0002] Each hole on a golf course consists of three distinct playing surfaces: ...
