Abstract
A golf tee insertion depth measurement tool provides a gauge to facilitate marking the shaft of a golf tee to indicate a desired insertion depth that provides an optimum height for a golf ball placed on the tee, which ball is to be struck by a club face having a height H. The tool has a base portion and an elongate stem portion having a stem length. The base portion has a first surface and a second surface. The stem portion is connected to the base portion and extends outwardly away from the second surface of the base portion. The stem portion is first marked along its length at a location corresponding to the club face height H above the ground. The shaft of a tee is then marked at a location corresponding to the marked location on the stem portion to provide the correct insertion depth for the tee.
Claims3
A method of using a golf tee insertion depth measurement tool to mark a shaft of a golf tee to indicate a desired insertion depth which will provide an optimum height for a golf ball placed on a tee, which ball is to be struck by a club face having a height H, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a golf tee insertion depth measurement tool having a base portion and an elongate stem portion having a stem length, wherein the base portion has at least a first surface that is substantially planar and a second surface spaced apart from the first surface by a first distance D and wherein the stem portion is connected to the base portion and extends outwardly away from the second surface of the base portion;
- (b) providing a golf tee having a head, a shaft and a tip;
- (c) placing the first surface of the base portion of the measurement tool on the ground surface;
- (d) placing the golf club head on the ground surface with the striking face of the golf club adjacent the measurement tool;
- (e) marking the stem portion of the measurement tool at a first location that is at a height above the ground surface equivalent to the height of an upper edge of the striking face of the golf club above the ground surface;
- and
- (f) marking the shaft of the golf tee at a location that is aligned with the mark made in step (e).
