ABSTRACT:
A golf tee setter according to the present invention allows golfers to use a real tee on a practice mat to practice their swing in golf driving ranges as if they are actually practicing on real ground. The golf tee setter is configured to be placed in the rubber tee hole of the practice mat and has a slit formed in a tee holder to hold the tee in substantially vertical position in relation to the practice mat to place a golf ball on the tee. The slit has a plurality of flaps extending from front and rear inner walls of the slit. The flaps are made of a flexible material to absorb any tilting force of the golf tee and prevents the golf tee from ejecting from the golf tee setter. The golf tee setter includes a base portion which has a slightly larger diameter than the body of the tee holder to enable the tee holder to be inserted into the practice mat from the top surface instead of from the bottom surface. In addition, a cord tethers the golf tee and the golf tee setter for repeated use of the golf tee.
