Abstract:
A golf tee comprising:an elongate central support stem having a longitudinal axis, an upper end and a lower end, a pointed base section integral with the lower end for inserting the tee into the ground;three fan shaped projections angularly spaced in respect to and extending upwardly from the upper end of the stem, terminating in three respective vertices, the vertices radially equidistant and substantially elevated in relation to the stem, the vertices spaced so that a golf ball may be in a supportedly elevated position with absolute minimum point like contact, such that premature spin will not be imparted to the ball by the tee;three outer edges curvingly extending upwardly from the base section terminating at the respective vertices;three curved fin like flutes defined by the longitudinal axis of the stem, the outer edges and the fan shaped projections, the flutes spaced equally with respect to the stem, the flutes being identical in size and shape and spiralling upwardly from the base section to the vertices,whereby, the flutes provide stability against the tee becoming twisted, or loosened due to poor soil conditions, wind gusts, or air currents preceding a swinging golf club.
