ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention comprises a tee marker sign (90) which includes a graphic representation of a particular golf hole, number 10, which includes three separate tee boxes--a ladies' tee (92), a men's tee (94) and a championship tee (96). The tenth hole includes a water hazard that is depicted on sign (90) at (100). A golfer teeing off on the tenth hole needs to know the distance to the pin from the tee box. The golfer also needs to know the distance to the water hazard (100). As such, sign (90) includes settable distance indicators associated with each tee box and the distance from each tee box to the water hazard (100).
The blue tee box includes distance indicator (102), that is set using selector dial (104). Manipulating selector dial (104) changes the value in distance indicator (102). Adjusting the selector dial (104) also changes the distance simultaneously in distance indicator (106). A distance indicator (108) and a distance indicator (110) are associated with the men's tees. A distance indicator (112) and a distance indicator (114) are associated with the ladies' tees. Distance indicators (108) and (110) are set using selector (116). Distance indicators (112) and (114) are set using selector dial (118).
