Abstract
A golf tee box marker device includes a base having a planar front surface, a steel plate secured to the planar front surface and having a first polarity, and an advertising panel comprised of a flexible material and having a second polarity. The advertising panel is removably secured to the steel plate using magnetic forces. At least one support extends from a lower portion of the base and is threaded into a lower portion of the base and configured to be pushed into a ground surface using a sharpened edge until the lower portion of the base is substantially flush to the ground surface. The base may be at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the pair of supports causing the advertising panel to be tilted upwards.

A golf tee box marker device, the device comprising:
- a base having a planar front surface;
- a plate secured to the planar front surface;
- an advertising panel removably secured over the plate using magnetic forces and having similar dimensions and a shape to the planar front surface of the base;
- a protruding lip extending about a periphery of the planar front surface of the base and around the advertising panel secured over the plate;
- and
- at least one support extending from a lower portion of the base and configured to be pushed into a ground surface using a sharpened edge until the lower portion of the base is substantially flush to the ground surface.
A golf tee box marker device, the device comprising:
- a base having a planar front surface;
- a plate secured to the planar front surface, wherein the plate is comprised of metal and has a first polarity;
- an advertising panel removably secured over the plate using magnetic forces and having similar dimensions and a shape to the planar front surface of the base;
- a protruding lip extending about a periphery of the planar front surface of the base and around the advertising panel secured over the plate;
