ABSTRACT:
The first aspect of the present invention is an adjustable height golf tee. The adjustable height golf tee consists of an elongated ball support having a sidewall defining a hollow interior in a proximal and a distal end. The distal end defines a ball support surface. A plurality of collapsible ties have a proximal end and a distal end and have the proximal end attached to and extending from the proximal end of the ball support. The collapsible ties are configured to support the ball support in an upright orientation with the distal end of the ties engaging a horizontal surface and to collapse into the hollow interior of the ball support upon application of a select axial load to the ball support in a direction toward the proximal end of the ball support. Preferably, an anchor is attached to the distal end of the ties with the anchor having a diameter equivalent greater than an outer diameter equivalent of the ball support. The ball support, the ties and the anchor are preferably integrally formed from a single piece of elastomer.
