Golf ball tee setting device

A tee setting device, comprising:

• a head assembly defining a hollow chamber therein, said hollow chamber communicating with at least one surface positionable upon the ground;
• holding means for holding a tee within said hollow chamber;
• a shaft coupled to said head assembly;
• a pushrod disposed within said shaft;
• a handle coupled to said pushrod for driving said pushrod through said shaft within a predetermined range, whereby said pushrod directly contacts the tee held by said holding means and drives the tee out of the head assembly and into the ground to a depth corresponding to a distance traveled by said pushrod;
• and
• an adjustable stopping means for selectively stopping the travel of pushrod at a target point among a plurality of points contained within said predetermined range.

A method of setting a golf tee, comprising the steps of:

• providing an elongated member having a hollow channel formed therethrough and a first open end that communicates with said hollow channel;
• providing a pushrod within said hollow channel wherein the pushrod can be advanced in said hollow channel;
• selectively limiting the distance the pushrod is permitted to travel within said hollow channel, wherein the distance selected corresponds to a predetermined tee height that a person desires to set the tee on the ground;
• positioning a tee within said hollow channel proximate said open end;
• placing said open end of said elongated member on the ground;
• advancing said pushrod in said elongated member wherein said pushrod engages the tee and drives the tee into the ground to a point where the tee extends above the ground at said predetermined tee height.
