Abstract
A sectional golf tee is provided comprising a lower tee half which is made of a rigid material for penetrating the ground, and an upper tee half which is mechanically and/or magnetically mated to the lower tee half along a common longitudinal axis to elevate a golf ball with a loose cord keeping the halves within a retrieving distance. To an omnidirectional hitting impact at the ball the upper tee half is totally compliant by its physical separation from the lower tee half overcoming the mechanical and/or magnetic attraction with zero resistance to the club movement.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A sectional golf tee comprising:
a longitudinally extending tee base having a pointed tip at a bottom end and a latitudinally extending upper surface; a longitudinal tee top having a latitudinally extending lower surface opposing the upper surface of the tee base and a concave top surface for bearing a bottom area of a golf ball above a teeing ground; and a flexible linear member slidably threaded though the tee top and tee base for keeping them within a certain distance, wherein the tee top is magnetically and concentrically attractive to the tee base so that the golf tee has two distinctive modes interchangeable between a singular body form during a teeing preparation and physically separated halves in response to the slightest impact from a club swing.
2 . The sectional golf tee of claim 1 , wherein the golf tee has round side walls and the tee base and tee top are mated through concavo-convex areas on the opposing latitudinal surfaces in their center areas.
3 . The sectional golf tee of claim 2 , wherein each of the opposing latitudinal surfaces of the tee base and tee top has a magnetic layer to attract the opposite latitudinal surface of the tee base or tee top.
4 . The sectional golf tee of claim 3 , wherein the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base has an upright center guide and the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top has a central cave adapted to receive the center guide snugly.
5 . The sectional golf tee of claim 3 , wherein the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base has a central cave recessed downwardly and the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top has a center guide protruding downwardly to penetrate the central cave of the tee base snugly.
6 . The sectional golf tee of claim 2 , wherein the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base has an upright center guide and the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top has a central cave adapted to receive the center guide snugly.
7 . The sectional golf tee of claim 2 , wherein the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base has a central cave recessed downwardly and the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top has a center guide protruding downwardly to penetrate the central cave of the tee base snugly.
8 . The sectional golf tee of claim 1 , wherein the golf tee has round side walls and the tee base and tee top are mated through concavo-convex areas on the opposing latitudinal surfaces around their circumferential edges.
9 . The sectional golf tee of claim 8 , wherein each of the opposing latitudinal surfaces of the tee base and tee top has a magnetic layer to attract the opposite latitudinal surface of the tee base or tee top.
10 . The sectional golf tee of claim 9 , wherein the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top has circumferential walls extending around the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base to guide the concentric mating between the tee top and base.
11 . The sectional golf tee of claim 9 , wherein the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base has circumferential walls extending around the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top to guide the concentric mating between the tee top and base.
12 . The sectional golf tee of claim 8 , wherein the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top has circumferential walls extending around the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base to guide the concentric mating between the tee top and base.
13 . The sectional golf tee of claim 8 , wherein the latitudinal upper surface of the tee base has circumferential walls extending around the latitudinal lower surface of the tee top to guide the concentric mating between the tee top and base.Cited by (0)
