Abstract
Embodiments of a mesh golf tee are disclosed having a shaft and an upper mesh portion for supporting a golf ball. The upper mesh portion may provide less resistance to a club to allow greater power applied to the ball. The mesh portion may also flex such that the ball is not deflected by any portion of the tee upon impact by a golf club, allowing for greater consistency.
