Abstract

A durable golf tee construction to prevent the loss of or damage to golf tees, allowing golf players to play many rounds of golf using only one golf tee. Breakable but connected tee prevents the tee to be damaged upon striking; a string connected two tees allowing the easy location of tee, and thus preventing loss of tee.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A durable golf tee construction, comprising: 
 a. A first golf tee having a base, a center ring portion, and a separable but connected ball seat;    b. A second golf tee; and,    c. A string connecting said first and second tee.    
   
   
       2 . The golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein said separable ball seat of the first golf tee has a hollowed out inner space to receive a spring and a wire slidably stringing through the coaxial core of said string, with one end of the wire connected to said center ring portion and the other end of the wire fixed to one end of said spring, so that said ball seat may be temporarily separated from said center ring portion, but remain connected, and so that said spring, in its compressed state, will exert force on said ball seat to resume its original state of being connected to said center ring portion.  
   
   
       3 . The golf tee of  claim 2 , wherein said center ring portion has a protruding sized to fit the diameter of the hollowed out inner space of said ball seat so that the ball seat will be easily aligned with the center ring portion and base after temporarily separated from said center ring portion after being struck upon by golf clubs.  
   
   
       4 . The golf tee of  claim 3 , wherein said wire inside the hollowed inner space of said ball seat has an upper end-clamp and a lower end-clamp, respectively for connecting to said spring and said center ring portion.  
   
   
       5 . The golf tee of  claim 4 , wherein said lower end-clamp can be optionally connected, through a hole in the center ring portion, to said base.  
   
   
       6 . The golf tee of  claim 3 , wherein said center ring portion has extended outer circumferential edge for easy human maneuvering.  
   
   
       7 . The golf tee of  claim 3 , wherein said base is made of metal.
