         5 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein a surface of one of the core section and elevation sections includes one of a texture, a rib, a nub, a pleat, a ridge, a serration, and a score line to aid the friction fit between the elevation section and the core section. 
     
     
         6 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein a surface of the core section includes one of a texture, a rib, a nub, a pleat, a ridge, a serration, and a score line to anchor the core section into the teeing ground. 
     
     
         7 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein a wall thickness of the core section is in the range of 0.01 inches to 0.3 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein a wall thickness of the elevation section in an area configured to hold the golf ball is in the range of 0.01 inches to 0.3 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein one of the core section and the elevation section is constructed of one of paper, cardboard, a composite material, a polymer and a metal. 
     
     
         10 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein the core section includes a visual cue indicating a depth to which the core section has been inserted into the ground. 
     
     
         11 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein the second end is configured to hold the golf ball such that the second end contacts the surface at an interface that forms boundaries of the dimples. 
     
     
         12 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein the elevation section includes a visual cue indicating one of a height of the two-part golf tee or a depth of insertion of the elevation section into the core section. 
     
     
         13 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein the core section has an inner diameter and an outer diameter and the elevation section has an inner diameter and an outer diameter and wherein the friction fit is created by one of the inner diameter of the core section being different from the outer diameter of the elevation section or the outer diameter of the core section being different from the inner diameter of the elevation section. 
     
     
         14 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the core section that is configured to be inserted into the ground includes means to facilitate preparation or penetration of the teeing ground to receive the core section. 
     
     
         15 . A two-part golf tee, comprising:
 a core component configured to be at least partially inserted into a teeing ground; and   an elevation component configured to be releasably coupled to the core component and further configured to hold a golf ball.   
     
     
         16 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 15 , wherein the releasable coupling is based on the core component and the elevation component having complementary shapes. 
     
     
         17 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 15 , wherein the releasable coupling is based on a friction fit or a mechanical fit between the core component and the elevation component. 
     
     
         18 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 15 , wherein the releasable coupling allows for different relationships between the core component and the elevation component so the tee can assume different heights. 
     
     
         19 . The two-part golf tee of  claim 15 , wherein one of the core component and the elevation component is constructed of one of paper, cardboard, a composite material, a polymer and a metal. 
     
     
         20 . A system, comprising:
 a plurality of core sections, each core section comprising a substantially cylindrical tube, each core section having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured to be inserted into a teeing ground; and   a plurality of elevation sections, each elevation section comprising a substantially cylindrical tube, each elevation section having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the elevation section is coupleable to the second end of the core section via a friction fit or mechanical fit, the second end of the elevation section being configured to hold a golf ball, a first number of the elevation sections having a first length and being color-coded or visually marked based on the first length and a second number of the elevation sections having a second length and being color-coded or visually marked based on the second length.
