Golf tee inserter

A golf tee inserter comprising:

• a housing having a base for engaging a ground surface and having a tubular interior shaft, the housing extending from an upper end to a lower end at the base, and wherein the housing has portions defining a first side slot which extends upwardly and a second side slot opposite the first side slot and which extends upwardly, wherein a plurality of inwardly extending parallel outer teeth are disposed within the tubular interior shaft adjacent each of the first side slot and the second side slot;
• a pusher assembly positioned within the tubular interior shaft of the housing, the pusher assembly having two opposed flexible pivot arms, the flexible pivot arms having inner locking teeth which face outwardly towards the outer teeth adjacent the first side slot and the second side slot;
• a release button connected to each of the two opposed flexible pivot arms, each release button extending through one of the first side slot and the second side slot of the housing;
• portions of the base of the housing which define a downwardly facing opening for the receipt therethrough of a golf tee;
• and
• portions of an underside of the pusher assembly which define a downwardly facing tee-engaging surface within the tubular interior shaft of the housing, the tee-engaging surface being arranged to engage a head of a golf tee inserted within the downwardly facing opening of the base of the housing, wherein the depression of the release buttons of the pusher assembly causes the two flexible pivot arms to pivot inwardly thereby releasing the inner locking teeth of the two flexible arms from engagement with the outer teeth allowing vertical displacement of the pusher assembly within the tubular interior shaft of the housing and repositioning the pusher assembly at a different vertical location to thereby adjust the location of the downwardly facing tee engaging surface with respect to the base of the housing.

• a pusher assembly positioned within the tubular interior shaft of the housing, the pusher assembly having two opposed flexible pivot arms, the flexible pivot arms having teeth positioned to engage the outer teeth in a first fixed position;
• button portions connected to the opposed flexible pivot arms which extend through one of the first side slot and the second side slot of the housing;
• portions of the base of the housing which define a downwardly facing opening for the receipt therethrough of a golf tee;
• and
• portions of an underside of the pusher assembly which define a downwardly facing tee-engaging surface within the tubular interior shaft of the housing, the tee engaging surface being arranged to engage a head of a golf tee inserted within the downwardly facing opening of the base of the housing, wherein the depression of the button portions of the pusher assembly causes the two flexible pivot arms to pivot inwardly thereby releasing the pusher teeth from engagement with the outer teeth, placing the pusher assembly into a second movable configuration allowing vertical displacement of the pusher assembly within the tubular interior shaft of the housing and repositioning the pusher assembly at a different vertical location to thereby adjust the location of the downwardly facing tee engaging surface with respect to the base of the housing.
