Multi-purpose hand tool for golf applications

A tee-restoration sleeve (050) comprising:

• a body formed from a firm but flexible material and shaped generally as a lower portion of a golf tee;
• and a hollow interior (051) sized to receive and retain a head of a broken tee (052) of a golf tee, wherein when the head of the broken tee (052) is inserted into the hollow interior (051), the combination of the tee-restoration sleeve (050) and the head of the broken tee (052) forms a restored tee (055) configured for use as a golf tee.

A method of estimating distance to a target, the method comprising:

• holding a hand tool at arm's length, the hand tool comprising scale markings (006) calibrated to enable estimation of distance to a target of known height based on a geometric relationship between a user's eye, the hand tool held at arm's length, and the target;
• aligning the target with the scale markings (006) by aligning a bottom of the target with a baseline (025) of the scale markings (006);
• and reading a distance indication (024) from the scale markings (006) where a top of the target aligns with the scale markings (006).

A method of restoring a broken golf tee, the method comprising:

• providing a tee-restoration sleeve (050) having a hollow interior (051) sized to receive a head of a broken tee (052);
• inserting the head of the broken tee (052) into the hollow interior (051) of the tee-restoration sleeve (050) to form a restored tee (055);
• and inserting the restored tee (055) into a ground surface (057) for use as a golf tee.
