Benefits of technology

[0008]One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to golf accessories and pertain to a golf tee that is linked to a second golf tee by a stretchable, elastic cord that can be selectively attached or detached from the first and/or the second tee or can be permanently affixed to the first and/or the se

Problems solved by technology

Often a golfer fails to pick up their golf tees, because they can't readily see them after they hit their golf shot.
They can't readily see them because upon striking the golf ball the tee often becomes dislodged from the ground and flies to an unknown location.
The brush tees (trademarked) are relatively expensive.
The longer the cord, the more cumbersome it would for a golfer to carry in his pocket or in his golf bag.
The cord would tend to get tangled up and otherwise be a nuisance for a golfer.
Furthermore, since the cord is not stretchable, and since the anchor pin is inserted all the way into the ground, t

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041]FIG. 1A shows a side view of two golf tees 2 and 4 inserted into a ground portion 50 and attached together by a stretchable and elastic cord 6, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The combination of golf tees 2 and 4 may be part of an apparatus 1. FIG. 1B shows a side view of the golf tees 2 and 4 inserted into the ground portion 50 and attached together by the stretchable and elastic cord 6, with a golf ball 10 shown by dashed lines, placed on top of the golf tee 2.

[0042]Each of the two golf tees 2 and 4, may be a typical known golf tee. Golf tee 2 will be described, however golf tee 4 may be identical to golf tee 2. Golf tee 2 includes a pointed or conical section 2a, a substantially straight or tube section 2b, and a tapered section 2c. The golf tee 2 also has a concave or indented top surface 2d for placing the golf ball 10 on, as in FIG. 1B.

[0043]The cord 6 may be an elastic, stretchable cord, such as a cord made ...

Abstract

An apparatus including a first tee, a second tee, and a device to which the first tee and the second tee are attached, and so that the first tee is spaced apart from the second tee. The first and the second tee may be permanently attached to the device. The first and the second tee may, alternatively, be attached or detached from the device. The device have a plurality of openings, wherein each of the first and the second tee can be inserted through each of the plurality of openings to attach each of the first tee and the second tee to the device. Each of the plurality of openings may have one or more flaps which bend to allow the first or the second tee to be inserted into each of the plurality of openings to attach the first or the second tee to the device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to improved methods and apparatus concerning golf tees.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The rules of golf provide that a golfer may use a golf tee when playing his shot from a designated tee area. Often a golfer fails to pick up their golf tees, because they can't readily see them after they hit their golf shot. They can't readily see them because upon striking the golf ball the tee often becomes dislodged from the ground and flies to an unknown location. Rather than searching for the tee, the golfer elects to use another tee when needed.[0003]In general, a golf tee is typically made of a wood, plastic or a composite material including biodegradable material. The golf tee varies in length from approximately one to three inches in length and has a tapered body containing a concave platform on one end and a pointed tip on the other end. The pointed tip is inserted into the ground and the golf ball is placed onto the surface of the con...
