ABSTRACT:
A golf tee for improved straighter golf ball flight when hit therefrom including an adhesive means applied to all or a portion of the socket portion of the head for adherence to the golf ball placed thereon. Golf ball adhesion to the head of this golf tee provides the anti-spin characteristics necessary to reduce ball "hook" or "slice". The preferred adhesive means is a double-sided tape, however, any adhesive means may be applied on the socket of a conventional tee, the adhesive then covered to allow the tee to be stored in, for example, a golf bag, without premature adhesion to other surrounding objects. The golf tee may be of a conventional shape or may include an enlarged head portion for greater adhesive means engagement to the golf ball. However, the combination of adhesive size, tee size, and adhesive strength should not act in such combination that the tee flies with the golf ball when struck by a golf club in normal play. The preferred embodiments of the invention are of approximately conventional tee weight and size so that it may be used in normal play except when in violation of golf competition regulations. Adhesive means may be applied to any conventional golf tee including those having a stem designed for improved ground engagement. Two alternate embodiments include additional anti-rotation flanges on the shank of the tee to provide maximum resistance to tee rotation in the ground and, therefore, to enhance golf ball anti-spin properties of this invention.
