A golf tee is provided with a streamer to facilitate locating the tee and to point out the desired line of flight of the ball. The tee engaging end of the streamer may be integrally secured to the tee or detachably secured thereto. In either case, a slot is provided in the streamer adjacent the tee engaging end thereof. The streamer is adapted to be folded under the tee in a manner such that the tee stem passes through the slot with the forward end of the slot adjacent or engaging the front surface of the tee stem.
A high performance golf tee comprises a stem, a cup-shaped ball receptacle on the top of the stem, and a projection extending outwardly from the ball receptacle a sufficient distance such that when a golf ball is placed on the tee and a golf club is swung at the ball, the golf club contacts the projection and imparts motion to the ball before the golf club makes direct contact with the surface of the golf ball. The contact between the golf club and the projection imparts an initial backspin on the ball, and this improves the flight characteristics of the ball. The golf tee may be integrally molded as a unit including the projection or the projection may be formed as an attachment for a conventional golf tee.
A swizzle stick made up of a plurality of golf tees and ball markers. The tees are connected in an end-to-end relationship with the point of one tee preferably connected to the ball support end of an adjacent tee. One or more ball markers may be attached at the ends or at locations intermediate of the tees. The ball supporting end of the tees has a flat circular surface and three similarly shaped elements projecting above the flat surface, the elements also being equally spaced about the perimeter of the surface.
