Abstract
A golf tee has a contact alert material encapsulated therein. The golf tee includes a top portion with top, side and bottom walls fixedly attached to a shaft that terminates into a point appointed to be inserted into a ground surface. A cavity is formed between the top, side and bottom walls of the top portion. A contact alert material is encapsulated within the cavity and is composed of a combustible material that generates a spark on impact. The contact alert material is appointed to generate the spark during a golf swing when a golf club strikes the ball and the side walls. The alert is provided immediately as instantaneous feedback during the golf swing adapted to thereby improve muscle memory required to reliably replicate a proper golf swing.
Claims19
A golf tee having a contact alert material encapsulated therein comprising:
- a. a top portion with a top wall, side walls and a bottom wall, said bottom wall of said top portion being fixedly attached to a shaft that terminates into a point, said point and a portion of said shaft being appointed to be inserted into a ground surface when a golfer is getting ready to tee off and a golf ball is placed on said top wall of said top portion;
- b. a cavity formed between said top, side and bottom walls of said top portion;
- a. a contact alert material being encapsulated within said cavity and being composed of a combustible material that is placed under pressure and compression by said side walls and generates a spark on impact;
- d) said side walls having a shallow depth and being composed of a side wall material that is a different material than rest of said gold tee and that breaks or shatters upon impact by a head of a golf club so that said golf club instantaneously strikes said contact alert material encapsulated in the golf tee;
- whereby said contact alert material is appointed to generate said spark during a golf swing when said golf club strikes said ball and said side walls, said alert being provided immediately as instantaneous feedback during said golf swing adapted to thereby improve muscle memory required to reliably replicate a proper golf swing.
A method of use of a golf tee with a golf training aid having a golf club and a golf ball for encouraging proper golfing form, said golf tee comprising:
- a) a top portion with a top wall, side walls and a bottom wall, said bottom wall of said top portion being fixedly attached to a shaft that terminates into a point, said point and a portion of said shaft being appointed to be inserted into a ground surface when a golfer is getting ready to tee off and a golf ball is placed on said top wall of said top portion;
- b) a cavity formed between said top, side and bottom walls of said top portion;
- c) contact alert material being encapsulated within said cavity and being composed of a combustible material that is placed under pressure and compression by said side walls and generates a spark on impact;
- d) side walls having a shallow depth and being composed of a side wall material that is a different material than rest of said golf tee and that breaks or shatters upon impact by a head of a golf club so that said golf club instantaneously strikes said contact alert material encapsulated in the golf tee;
- whereby said contact alert material is appointed to generate said spark during a golf swing when said golf club strikes said ball and said side walls, said alert being provided immediately as instantaneous feedback during said golf swing adapted to thereby improve muscle memory required to reliably replicate a proper golf swing.
A method of manufacturing a golf tee having a contact alert material encapsulated therein comprising:
- a) forming mating first half and second half of said golf tee, each first half and second half having a half of a top wall, side walls with a cavity and a bottom wall, said bottom wall of said top portion being fixedly attached to a half shaft that terminates into a half point, said side walls having a shallow depth and being composed of a side wall material that is a different material than rest of said golf tee and that breaks or shatters upon impact by a head of a golf club so that said golf club instantaneously strikes said contact alert material encapsulated in the golf tee;
- b) inserting a contact alert material composed of a combustible material that generates a spark on impact within each of said cavity of said first half and second half;
- c) attaching said first half to said second half to form golf tee so that said contact alert material is encapsulated within said golf tee and is placed under pressure and compression by said side walls and generates said spark;
- whereby said contact alert material is appointed to generate said spark during a golf swing when said golf club strikes said ball and said side walls, said alert being provided immediately as instantaneous feedback during said golf swing adapted to thereby improve muscle memory required to reliably replicate a proper golf swing.
