Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/943,886 filed on Dec. 5, 2019. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.
- The present invention relates to a golf tee tethering device. More particularly, the present invention provides a device that will tether a golf tee in a close proximity to the user.
- When playing golf, a golf tee is regularly used. The golf tee holds a golf ball above the ground to allow for a golfer to hit the ball. This is often done on the first shot of every hole. Often, when a golf shot is hit using a golf tee, the golf tee is also struck by a golf club. This causes the golf tee to fly away from the proximity of the golfer.
- Golf tees often are not recovered after the golf shot due to the unpredictability of the tee flight. Further, there is usually longer grass around the area the first shot of every hole is taken from. This means that the tee may become lost in the grass after the shot. Golf tees can create an unsightly golfing area when a multitude of them begin to cluster in one area. Further, golf tees can cause damage to a mower when they are run over. This could become costly when repairs are required.
- Consequently, there is a need for an improvement in the art of locating a golf tee after the golf shot. The present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the known art while at the same time solves a problem many people face when using a golf tee. In this regard the present invention substantially fulfills these needs.

The golf tee tethering device is comprised of a length of a material having loops at both ends. A first rubber washer sized to frictionally fit around a golf tee. A second rubber washer sized to frictionally fit around a golf tee. The first rubber washer is placed atop a loop on one end of the material and the second rubber washer is placed beneath the loop at the same end of the material.
- Another object of the golf tee tethering device is to provide a material that is a cable.
- Another object of the golf tee tethering device is to provide a material that is a material that is green.
- Another object of the golf tee tethering device is to provide loops that are created by braiding the material into itself.
- other object of the golf tee tethering device is to provide a first rubber washer that is thinner than the second rubber washer.
- other object of the golf tee tethering device is to provide a second length of material having loops at both ends. The second material and the first material are movably secured together. A loop of the first material is formed around the length of the second material and a loop of the second material is formed around a length of the first material.
- Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- Although the characteristic features of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims, the invention itself and manner in which it may be made and used may be better understood after a review of the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like numeral annotations are provided throughout.
