Abstract
A golf tee is disclosed that is highly durable compared to wooden tees, is easy to find if struck during a golf swing, and has other attributes. It is in the form of a tube of somewhat smaller diameter than a golf ball and having the lower end provided with a spike or point similar to that of a wooden tee. It is primarily made of a tough elastomeric plastic such as moderately high durometer polyurethane. Preferably, it has provision for flotation, such as trapped air to prevent it from sinking if it should land in water.
