Abstract

In order to be driven into the ground in a fixed way to allow the player to make several shots during training or teaching, the invention consists of a rigid lower portion (1) to be driven into the ground and an elastic upper portion (2) movable with respect to the former portion and projecting from the surface of ground to provide an effective support (3) for the golf ball (4).
The elastic upper movable portion (2) consists of a tubular member coaxially connected to rigid lower portion (1), and the outside surface of rigid lower portion (1) to be buried is provided with a screw thread (8) allowing the tee to bore the ground by rotating it by a suitable fastening tool or key (5) capable of being inserted through the tubular portion (2) to rotate the tee.
