Abstract
A golf tee for guiding the trajectory of a golf ball is described herein. The golf tee comprises a penetrating element located at the bottom of a stem which allows the insertion of the golf tee into the ground surface and an angled launch platform adapted to guide the ball when hit by a golf club. The launch platform generally comprises a depression and a launch ramp adapted to receive and retain a golf ball. The golf tee generally improves the golf ball's trajectory by imparting proper spin which allows the ball to remain longer in the air.
