Correcting golf tee

Abstract

A trajectory correcting golf tee constructed with a stem for inserting into the ground and for supporting a golf ball in a fixed position above the ground. The stem is tapered so as to easily insert into the ground in a generally vertical position. The golf tee further includes a top surface with a depression to accept and retain a golf ball. The improvement including an elevated portion along one or two opposing edges of the top surface so as to control and correct a golf ball trajectory.

1 . An improved golf tee including a lower end and an upper end, the lower end for inserting into the ground, the upper end terminating at a top surface with a depression shaped in the top surface, the depression for accepting and retaining a golf ball, the improvement comprising: 
 the top surface including at least one elevated portion, each elevated portion located along one, substantially entire, edge of the top surface wherein the elevated portion lies on either side of a golf ball and acts as an instant guide to the trajectory of the golf ball at play.    
   
   
       2 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the elevated portion is substantially one sixteenth of an inch in height.  
   
   
       3 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the elevated portion is less than three sixteenths but more than one sixteenth of an inch in height.  
   
   
       4 . The improved golf tee as claimed in claims  1  or  2  wherein the top surface is generally square.  
   
   
       5 . An improved golf tee as claimed in claims  1  or  2  wherein the lower end is funnel shaped.  
   
   
       6 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the golf tee is tapered along its length and terminating substantially to a point for easy inserting into the ground.  
   
   
       7 . The improved golf tee as claimed in claims  1  or  2  wherein the lower portion of the golf tee is shaped as a universally accepted tee.  
   
   
       8 . The improved golf tee as claimed in claims  1  or  2  wherein the tee is made of wood.  
   
   
       9 . An improved golf tee including a tapered stem for inserting into the ground in a generally vertical position, the stem terminating at a top surface and the top surface having a depression for accepting and retaining a golf ball, the improvement comprising: 
 the top surface including at least one elevated portion, each elevated portion located along one, substantially entire, edge of the top surface wherein the elevated portion lies on either side of a golf ball and acts as an instant guide to the trajectory of the golf ball at play.    
   
   
       10 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the elevated portion is substantially one sixteenth of an inch in height.  
   
   
       11 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 9  or  10  wherein the stem has four sides.  
   
   
       12 . An improved golf tee comprising a four sided tapered stem for inserting into the ground in a generally vertical position, the stem terminating at a top surface and the top surface including a depression to accept and to retain a golf ball, the top surface further including an elevated portion located along one edge of the top surface, the elevated portion having a height substantially of one sixteenth of an inch.  
   
   
       13 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the stem is tapered along its length and terminating substantially to a point for easy inserting into the ground.  
   
   
       14 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the elevated portion occupies substantially the entire one edge of the tee.  
   
   
       15 . The improved golf tee as claimed in  claim 12  wherein elevated portions of similar heights are provided on opposing sides of the top surface.
