Golf tee

Abstract

A golf tee comprising a body, support legs secured to the body, a contact surface at one end of the body, and a flat face at an opposite end of the body.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A golf tee comprising a body, support legs secured to said body, a contact surface at one end of said body to accept driving force from a golf club, a flat face at an opposite end of said body, and a pair of pins extending forwardly from a lower region of said flat face and upon which a golf ball can be supported and rest upon said flat face.  
     
     
         2 . The golf tee of    claim 1   , wherein said flat face is angled towards the upper part of said contact surface, such that upon impact of a golf club upon said contact surface, a golf ball will be projected at an upward angle.  
     
     
         3 . The golf tee of    claim 1   , wherein said support legs are two in number and extend from and below a lower face of said body such that said legs can be partly inserted into the soil of a playing surface to support said body.  
     
     
         4 . The golf tee of    claim 1   , wherein said pins are each straight and have small heads at their free ends.  
     
     
         5 . The golf tee of    claim 1   , wherein a flexible line is secured by one end to said body and a stake is secured to the other end of said line for restraining excessive travel of the tee during use when said stake is anchored.  
     
     
         6 . A unitary molded body golf tee having an upper chair seat and back shaped portion and a lower leg portion, said upper portion having an upstanding flat back having a flat rear face and a slightly inclined flat front face, the seat part extending from the lower end of the front face, and the lower portion having downwardly extending legs from the central region of the underside of the seat part.  
     
     
         7 . The golf tee of    claim 6   , including grooves arranged across said front-face.  
     
     
         8 . The golf tee of    claim 6   , wherein there are only two legs extending below the seat part.  
     
     
         9 . The golf tee of    claim 6   , wherein there is a wedge shaped recess extending from the rear to the front of the seat.  
     
     
         10 . A unitary molded body golf tee having an upper chair scat and back shaped portion and a lower leg portion, said upper portion having an upstanding flat back having a flat rear face and a slightly inclined flat front face, the seat part extending from the lower end of the front face, and the lower portion having downwardly extending legs from the central region of the underside of the seat part, the golf tee of    claim 6   , including grooves arranged across said front-face wherein wherein there are only two legs extending below the seat part, and wherein there is a wedge shaped recess extending from the rear to the front of the seat, the energy equation when the golf tee is in use being ½M C V 1   2 =½M C V A   2 +½M B V B   2 +E+½M T V T   2  
 Wherein M C =Mass of Club  
 V 1 =initial club velocity before impact  
 V A =club velocity after impact  
 M B =Mass of Ball  
 V B =Velocity of Ball  
 E=Energy loss  
 M T =Mass of Golf Tee p 1  V T =Velocity of Golf Tee p 1  Kinetic Energy (KE)=½Mass(M)×Velocity(V) 2 , and p 1  KE of club before impact=KE of club after impact+KE of ball+Energy loss.
