Combination golf tool apparatus

Abstract

A combination golf tool apparatus that includes a case for receiving an adjustable shaft member. The adjustable shaft member including a helical groove for receiving a protrusion disposed within the case that guides and controls the linear positioning of the shaft member within the case. The adjustable shaft member further includes a convex surface opposite a head, the convex surface defines an upper end of a cavity defined within the case. The cavity is for insertion of an upper golf tee portion, such that rotating the shaft member adjustably positions the shaft member in the case thereby defining a distance in the cavity. The head includes a magnet disposed in a recess for receiving a metallic ball marker. The case further includes a divot tool clearance and means for storing a divot tool.

1 . A combination golf tool apparatus comprising:
 a case for receiving an adjustable shaft member, said shaft member including a helical groove that receives a protrusion disposed within the case in order to guide and control linear positioning of said shaft member,   said shaft member being adjustable about a case reference line parallel with a longitudinal axis of said case,   said shaft member further including a surface that defines an upper end of a cavity within said case, said cavity for insertion of an upper golf tee portion, and a head opposite said surface, said head including a magnet disposed in a recess for receiving a metallic ball marker,   wherein rotating the shaft member adjustably penetrates said shaft member in said case thereby defining a distance in said cavity.   
   
   
       2 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said case further including a divot tool clearance for storing a divot tool, said divot tool clearance including a pair of ledges for sliding engagement with a pair of edges of said divot tool. 
   
   
       3 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said divot tool clearance further includes at least one notches for receipt of a catch disposed along said edges of said divot tool. 
   
   
       4 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said helical groove includes one and one-quarter inch of linear travel per rotation of said shaft member within the case. 
   
   
       5 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said head of said shaft member further includes a plurality of tee height indicators in order to gauge said distance. 
   
   
       6 . A combination golf tool apparatus comprising:
 a case for receiving an adjustable shaft member, said shaft member including a helical groove for receiving a protrusion disposed within said case in order to guide and control linear positioning of said shaft member,   said shaft member further including a convex surface opposite a head, said convex surface defining an upper end of a cavity defined within said case, said cavity for insertion of an upper golf tee portion,   wherein rotating the shaft member adjustably penetrates said shaft member in said case thereby defining a distance in said cavity.   
   
   
       7 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein penetrating said shaft member into said case reduces the distance in said cavity and wherein elevating said shaft member from said case increases the distance in said cavity. 
   
   
       8 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said shaft member being adjustable about a case reference line parallel with the longitudinal axis of said case. 
   
   
       9 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said convex surface is adapted to bear against the head of the golf tee disposed within said cavity. 
   
   
       10 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said shaft member being rotatable to adjust the axial position of said convex surface within said cavity for selectively controlling the extent to which the upper portion of said golf tee is receivable therein. 
   
   
       11 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said head including a plurality of tee height indicators in order to visually select the extent to which the upper portion of said golf tee is receive with in said cavity. 
   
   
       12 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 11 , wherein rotating said head proportionately rotates said helical groove. 
   
   
       13 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said helical groove includes one and one-quarter inch of linear travel per rotation of said head in relation to said case reference line. 
   
   
       14 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said case further including a divot tool clearance for receiving a divot tool, said divot tool clearance including a pair of ledges for sliding engagement with edges of said divot tool, and said divot tool clearance further including at least one notch for receipt of a catch disposed along said edge. 
   
   
       15 . The golf tool apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said head of said shaft member including a magnet disposed in a recess for receiving a metallic ball marker. 
   
   
       16 . An apparatus for inserting a golf tee into the ground comprising:
 a body member having a chamber, said chamber including a protrusion in communication with a helical groove of a shaft member, said shaft member including a convex surface that defines an upper end of a cavity defined within said body member, said cavity for insertion of an upper golf tee portion,   wherein said shaft member being rotatable to adjust the axial position of said convex surface within said cavity for selectively controlling the extent to which the upper portion of said golf tee is received therein.   
   
   
       17 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 16 , wherein said body member further including a divot tool clearance for receiving a divot tool, said divot tool clearance including a pair of ledges for sliding engagement with edges of said divot tool, and said divot tool clearance further including at least one notch for receipt of a catch disposed along said edge. 
   
   
       18 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 16 , wherein said shaft member includes a head having a magnet disposed in a recess for receiving a metallic ball marker. 
   
   
       19 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 16 , wherein said helical groove includes one and one-quarter inch of linear travel per rotation of said shaft member.
