Abstract:
1. A golf tee placement device comprising: a golf tee height stopper having an aperture that is sized and configured to slideably communicate with a standard golf tee to thereby install the golf tee in the golf tee height stopper at a preferred position for installation of the golf tee into a surface, wherein the golf tee height stopper includes a top portion that is generally circular in shape having a diameter that is between about 2 inches and about 2⅛ inches, wherein the top portion has a thickness that is substantially the same from the center of the golf tee height stopper to its edge, wherein an overall height of the golf tee height stopper varies from a smaller thickness at its edge to a larger thickness at the center of the golf tee placement device such that the smaller thickness is about 1/16 inch and the larger thickness is about ⅛ inch, and wherein the golf tee height stopper is made from a resilient material that is one of either an elastomeric polymer, a urethane, or a rubber; an aperture that is substantially in the shape of one of either a square having a dimension of about 0.09 inches between the adjacent corners of the square wherein the sides of the square are arcuately shaped toward the center of the square, a polygon, a triangle, a circle, an ellipse, a symmetric geometric shape, or an asymmetric shape, wherein the aperture is located at about the center of the golf tee height stopper, an edge; a bottom surface; a plurality of spokes that generally radiate from the center of the golf tee height stopper to its edge wherein the thickness of each of the plurality of spokes is greater at the center of the golf tee height stopper than at the edge, and wherein a bottom surface of each of the plurality of spokes is substantially flat and substantially perpendicular to the edge; an indentation; a set of linear marking indicia; and a set of sequential marking indicia wherein the indentation, the set of linear marking indicia, and the set of sequential marking indicia are disposed on the bottom surface of the golf tee height stopper.
