What the Heck is This Contraption? A Rather Unusual Golf Related Device Receives Design Patent
Check out these figures contained in a golf related design patent that issued earlier this month. Can you guess what it is? (scroll way down in the post for the answer)

Looks like something a cowboy should wear!
Well, the patent is USPN D566,217 titled “Shoe Fitting Golf Ball Teeing Device.” So, I would guess that it clips on the toe of your golf shoe and you balance the ball on the fingers to then use your foot to set the ball on the tee! Can that be correct?
