AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present disclosure is a device that helps golfers reduce or eliminate bending while playing the sport. Its unique features include an adjustable height stand that allows for consistent tee height, assists in picking up a tee after a shot, and serves as a club stand on, e.g., the green, so extra clubs do not need to be laid on the ground, requiring them to be picked up thereafter. The device fulfills the role of a bending assistant and its robust nature allows it to withstand highly cyclic usage, vital to product endurance.

Problems solved by technology

According to the United States Product Safety Commission (USPSC), golf-related back, knee, leg and other mobility limiting related injuries resulting from the normal course of play are a leading type of hazard in the sport.

As bending down to set the ball and tee requires extreme strength, steadiness and focus, it is often the most physically demanding part of a golfer's round.

Current solutions to any sort of mobility issue for golfers are very limited.

A golfer can ask a fellow player to aid him or her in teeing up and retrieving the golf ball, but this is tedious and embarrassing for some individuals.

Additionally, these products are almost universally difficult to use, where reliability and ease of use are crucial.
