Benefits of technology

The present invention is a golf tee-marker apparatus that is easier for golfers with limited dexterity to use. It consists of a golf tee with a stem and a marker member with an aperture. The marker member is secured to the stem with a groove on the stem that snaps into a flexible or elastomeric marker member. The marker is positioned below the tee head for easy gripping and holding by the golfer. The elastomeric nature of the marker allows it to be easily removed and used for marking the position of the golfer's golf ball or for other purposes.

Problems solved by technology

Golfers with reduced manual dexterity may find it difficult to grasp and manipulate golf tees and markers.
