Abstract
An encasement device for a golf tee is cylindrically adhered to a shaft of golf tee. The encasement device is a cover with graduated markings, which allows the golfer to consistently set the tee at the golfer's desired depth. Each graduated marking is numerically related to other graduated markings and the ground penetration depth. The resulting multi-layer structure of the golf tee and the encasement device deters breakage of the golf tee and reinforces the shaft structure of the golf tee.
Claims20
An encasement device, comprising:
- a golf tee, said golf tee having a shaft portion, a head portion connected to one end of said shaft portion and a penetrating point portion connected to a remaining end of said shaft portion;
- a cover for encasing solely said shaft portion of said golf tee, said cover and said shaft portion of said golf tee forming a double layer structure that deters breakage of said golf tee during use;
- means for cylindrically applying said cover solely to said shaft portion, said means for cylindrically applying, said cover and said shaft portion of said golf tee forming a triple layer structure that reinforces said shaft portion against breakage during use of said golf tee;
- and
- said cover having graduated premeasured marks for determining a penetrating ground depth of said golf tee.
An apparatus for a golf tee which permits premeasured ground depths and deters breakage of the golf tee, said apparatus comprising:
- a sleeve for encasing solely a shaft portion of the golf tee, said sleeve and said shaft portion of the golf tee forming a double layer structure that deters breakage of the golf tee during use;
- said sleeve having graduated marks for determining a penetrating depth of the golf tee;
- and
- means for cylindrically applying said sleeve solely to said shaft portion, said means for cylindrically applying, said sleeve and said shaft portion of the golf tee forming a triple layer structure that reinforces said shaft portion against breakage during use of the golf tee.
A golf tee, comprising:
- a shaft portion of the golf tee;
- means for encasing solely said shaft portion, said means for encasing and said shaft portion of the golf tee forming a double layer structure that deters breakage of the golf tee during use;
- said means for encasing having graduated markings for relating a penetration depth of the golf tee;
- and
- means for cylindrically affixing said means for encasing solely to said shaft portion, said means for cylindrically affixing, said means for encasing and said shaft portion of the golf tee forming a triple layer structure that deters breakage of the golf tee and reinforces a structure of said shaft portion.
