Abstract
A golf tee apparatus and placement system may include a replaceable resilient flexible golf tee mechanically secured to an anchor to reduce the risk that the tee will move during play. And, like the legendary multi-function “Swiss Army Knife” the golf tee apparatus and placement system may further include a protective carrying sleeve and cover that does triple duty by also functioning as a high leverage tool and handle to ease placing tees on a grassy area.
Claims12
A golf tee apparatus, for positioning golf balls over a grassy area such as a golf teeing area or a driving range, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongate anchor shaft, having a pair of opposing ends and an auger blade secured there around, the shaft further having an anchor base tip at an inferior one of the opposing ends thereof to initiate and guide the insertion of the apparatus into soil of the grassy area, the auger blade to screw said apparatus into and out of the soil of the grassy area;
- an anchor head tee support, having a pair of opposing faces, an inferior one of the opposing faces thereof secured to a superior one of the opposing ends of said anchor shaft;
- a resilient flexible golf tee, positioned on a superior one of the pair of opposing faces of said anchor head tee support, to support a golf ball at a known height above the superior face of said anchor head tee support;
- and
- a collar to secure said resilient flexible golf tee to the superior face of said anchor head tee support while a user plays golf.
A golf tee placement system, for reliably positioning golf balls over a grassy area, the system comprising:
- a golf tee apparatus;
- and
- a hollow cover sleeve for a use alternately as:
- a handle and tool to manually screw or unscrew said golf tee apparatus into or out of soil of said grassy area;
- and a protective cover inside which said golf tee apparatus is transported or stored.
The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein any edges of said collar are both offset and inset from any edges of said anchor head tee support so as to permit the cover sleeve tool of claims 7 to 11 to be applied from above with said cover sleeve tool griping the edges of the anchor head tee support thereby permitting a user to screw the golf tee apparatus into the soil.
