Abstract:
1. A dual composition device to be used as a golf tee comprising: a tubular-shaped stiff stem portion, said stiff stem portion being hollow for the passage of air therein, a stiff cone-shaped portion flared at a distal end thereof, said stiff cone-shaped portion being formed integrally with said stem portion or made to be connected with said stem portion; a separate flexible face cone-shaped portion, said flexible face portion being flared at a distal end thereof; and said separate flexible face cone-shaped portion having an opening at a bottom thereof for the insertion of means for joining said separate flexible face cone-shaped portion in a concentric relationship with said stiff cone-shaped portion, wherein said means includes an air passage way therein axially aligned with said hollow stem portion, wherein the separate flexible face portion produces a vacuum seal on a golf ball when a suction from a vacuum source is applied through the stiff stem portion and the means for mechanically joining said separate flexible face cone-shaped portion in said concentric relationship with said stiff cone-shaped portion, and wherein said stiff cone-shaped portion serves to protect said flexible face cone-shaped portion when said golf ball is struck by a golf club.
