ABSTRACT:
An improved golf tee consists of a tee head having a flat supporting surface, and an elongated stem depending from the tee head. A layer of adhesive material is disposed on the flat supporting surface to promote adhesion of the golf ball to the flat supporting surface. The flat tee head reduces surface area contact of the ball on the supporting surface, and thereby reduces friction, or spinning, forces when the ball leaves the surface of the tee. The result is a straighter, more accurately hit golf ball. In a second embodiment, the tee head includes an upwardly convex supporting surface having a layer of adhesive material thereon. The convex surface further reduces contact area between the golf ball and golf tee.
