Description

ABSTRACT:
A tee setting device and the associated method for setting a golf tee into the ground. The device includes a tubular shaft having a head assembly at one end and a handle assembly at the opposite end. The head assembly includes a mechanism for retaining a golf tee and orienting the golf tee at a perpendicular to the ground. A pushrod is disposed within the shaft between the handle assembly and the head assembly. A selectively adjustable engagement device is present within the handle assembly. The engagement device enables a handle to engage the pushrod at different points. The handle is movable through a predetermined range relative the shaft. Accordingly, by selectively coupling the handle to the pushrod at different points, the handle can be used to move the pushrod a given distance within the shaft. The end of the pushrod, opposite the handle, is disposed above the golf tee that is retained in the head assembly. As the handle drives the tee within the shaft, the pushrod abuts against the golf tee and drives the tee into the ground. The point at which the handle engages the pushrod determines at what height the tee is left above the ground.
