Golf Tee

Abstract

Disclosed is a golf tee which is prevented from being lost even though a golfer strikes the golf tee along with a golf ball when executing a tee shot. The golf tee of the present invention includes a ball support unit ( 10 ), a peg unit ( 20 ), a magnet ( 15 ), an iron core ( 23 ) and a loss prevention string ( 30 ). The ball support unit ( 10 ) has a ball seat ( 11 ), a coupling protrusion ( 13 ) and a first receiving hole ( 14 ). The magnet ( 15 ) is fitted into the first receiving hole ( 14 ) of the ball support unit ( 10 ). The peg unit ( 20 ) has a coupling depression ( 21 ) and a second receiving hole ( 22 ). The iron core ( 23 ) is fitted into the second receiving hole ( 22 ) of the peg unit ( 20 ). The loss prevention string ( 30 ) couples the ball support unit ( 10 ) to the peg unit

1 . A golf tee, comprising:
 a ball support unit, comprising:   a ball seat, having a dish shape, provided on an upper end of the ball support unit;   a coupling protrusion provided on a lower end of the ball support unit, with an opening formed at a central portion in the coupling protrusion, the coupling protrusion being downwardly convex; and   a first receiving hole, having a diameter greater than a diameter of the opening of the coupling protrusion, formed from the upper end of the ball support unit to the lower end so that the first receiving hole communicates with the opening of the coupling protrusion;   a magnet fitted into the first receiving hole of the ball support unit and placed on the coupling protrusion;   a peg unit inserted at a lower end thereof into a ground, comprising:   a coupling depression provided on an upper end of the peg unit so that the peg unit supports the ball support unit thereon while the coupling protrusion of the ball support unit is inserted into the coupling depression; and   a second receiving hole formed under the coupling depression in the peg unit to a predetermined depth; and   an iron core fitted into the second receiving hole of the peg unit to a predetermined depth.   
   
   
       2 . The golf tee according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first through hole formed at a predetermined position in the lower end of the ball support unit;   a second through hole formed at a predetermined position in the upper end of the peg unit; and   a loss prevention string, having a predetermined length, coupled both to the ball support unit and to the peg unit by insertion of each of both ends of the loss prevention string into each of the first and second through holes.   
   
   
       3 . The golf tee according to  claim 1 , wherein the ball support unit is made of soft polyurethane. 
   
   
       4 . The golf tee according to  claim 1 , wherein the peg unit is made of polycarbonate. 
   
   
       5 . A golf tee, comprising:
 a ball support unit, comprising:   a ball seat, having a dish shape, provided on an upper end of the ball support unit;   a coupling protrusion provided on a lower end of the ball support unit, with an opening formed at a central portion in the coupling protrusion, the coupling protrusion being downwardly convex; and   a first receiving hole, having a diameter greater than a diameter of the opening of the coupling protrusion, formed from the upper end of the ball support unit to the lower end so that the first receiving hole communicates with the opening of the coupling protrusion;   a magnet fitted into the first receiving hole of the ball support unit and placed on the coupling protrusion;   a peg unit inserted at a lower end thereof into a ground, comprising:   a coupling depression provided on an upper end of the peg unit so that the peg unit supports the ball support unit thereon while the coupling protrusion of the ball support unit is inserted into the coupling depression; and   a second receiving hole formed under the coupling depression in the peg unit to a predetermined depth; and   a magnetic core fitted into the second receiving hole of the peg unit to a predetermined depth such that opposite poles of the magnetic core and the magnet of the ball support unit face each other.
