ABSTRACT:
A tee for use in the game of golf is constructed to provide an elongated hollowed body section, a removable head unit that includes a rotatable head section and a stationary head section, and a removable pointed bottom section. The removable head unit is securable to the top of the elongated body section by the stationary head section thereof and the pointed body section is securable to the bottom of the elongated body section. The rotatable head section has attached to the bottom thereof a top rod member which extends down through the stationary head section and has a hook on the lower end thereof and the pointed bottom section has attached to the top thereof a bottom rod member which has a hook on the upper end thereof. A rubber band extending through the hollowed elongated body section is connected between the upper and lower hooks. Upon rotating the rotatable head section by use of the fingers, elastic energy is stored in the rubber band such that when the ball is placed on the tee which is inserted in the ground, the ball will slowly rotate about a vertical axis, thereby helping the golfer to keep his eyes focused on the ball while he is addressing and driving the ball.
