Will We See This Tee Debut at The Masters?
Interesting golf tee patents are few and far between. Fortunately, a unique golf tee patent did issue last month, although I am not quite convinced that we will see it in local pro shop any time soon. Fun to look at nonetheless! The patent is USPN 7344456 titled “Flexible Golf Tee.” Check out these drawings:
The patent describes the invention as:
A golf tee is provided which is reversably extendable from a collapsed state to an extended state in order to adjust the overall length of the golf tee. The tee comprises a stem section for insertion into the ground, a head section on which a golf ball can be placed, and an intermediate section have a concertina-like shape that can be reversably moved from the collapsed to the extended state. The intermediate section of the tee is also preferably bendable so that the head section will easily move out of the way as it is struck by the golf club. A low cost golf tee having enhanced features is provided.
Think the golf world is ready for this tee?
