Abstract:
1. A golf tee setting device comprising: i) a substantially cylindrical housing having a bottom surface; ii) a cavity formed into the bottom surface of the substantially cylindrical housing, the cavity being formed on a longitudinal access of the substantially cylindrical housing and being adapted to receive a tee, the cavity extending along a portion of the full longitudinal length of the substantially cylindrical housing; iii) a screw shaft formed into an upper portion of the substantially cylindrical housing; iv) an adjustable screw disposed in the screw shaft, the adjustable screw adapted to be operated through the cavity from the bottom surface, the adjustable screw being adapted to lengthen or shorten so that the tee can be driven into the ground so that a ball placed on the tee sits at a desired height; v) a microcontroller disposed within said substantially cylindrical housing; vi) a display disposed on a side of the substantially cylindrical housing and coupled to the microcontroller; vii) an input device disposed on the side of the substantially cylindrical housing and coupled to the microcontroller; viii) a wireless transceiver coupled to the microcontroller wherein the wireless transceiver is adapted to receive information from a mobile computing device, the information including the distance to a hole; and iv) wherein the microcontroller is adapted to process input from the input device and display the information received from the wireless transceiver on the display.
