Golf aid tool kit

Abstract

The present invention provides a golf tee souvenir, comprised of: a flat support form, supporting unassembled golf tee components. The unassembled tee components are planar and lie parallel to the surface of the flat support. The golf tee components are removable from the flat support form and may be assembled to form a golf tee adapted to support a golf ball thereupon. The flat support form may resemble one of: a postcard, a business card, a keychain ornament, a membership card, a tournament card, and a memento. Printing may be displayed on any part of the invention. Additional golf aids may be included, such as a planar ball marker, and a planar pitch-mark repair tool. The invention additionally provides planar golf aid tools without an underlying support, such as a planar golf tee, a planar ball marker, and a planar pitch-mark repair tool.
