Abstract
A golf tee includes an elongated shaft and an enlarged head. The head is crown-shaped, with six sides that form six points where adjoining sides meet. The sides, which extend outwardly from a center section on which the ball sits, are downwardly bowed to follow the contour of a golf ball. The sides thus engage the golf ball along their lengths, with the points extending slightly along the upward curvature of the ball. The points prevent the ball from inadvertently rolling off of the tee, but do not adversely affect the flight of a properly hit ball, since they do not extend sufficiently far along the upward curvature.
