Method and apparatus for double golf tee

Abstract

An apparatus including a first tee, a second tee, and a device to which the first tee and the second tee are attached, and so that the first tee is spaced apart from the second tee. The first and the second tee may be permanently attached to the device. The first and the second tee may, alternatively, be attached or detached from the device. The device have a plurality of openings, wherein each of the first and the second tee can be inserted through each of the plurality of openings to attach each of the first tee and the second tee to the device. Each of the plurality of openings may have one or more flaps which bend to allow the first or the second tee to be inserted into each of the plurality of openings to attach the first or the second tee to the device.

We claim: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a first tee; and   a second tee;   a device to which the first tee and the second tee are attached so that the device connects the first tee and the second tee, so that the first tee is spaced apart from the second tee.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device is configured so that the first tee and the second tee are permanently attached to the device. 
 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device is configured so that the first tee and the second tee can be attached or detached from the device. 
 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device connects the first tee and the second tee so that the first tee is substantially parallel to the second tee. 
 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device is comprised of a plurality of openings and wherein each of the first tee and the second tee has a point which can be inserted through each of the plurality of openings to thereby attach each of the first tee and the second tee to the device. 
 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein
 each of the plurality of openings has one or more flaps which bend in order to allow the point of the first tee or the second tee to be inserted into each of the plurality of openings in order to attach the first tee or the second tee to the device. 
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device is comprised of at least a first section and a second section, wherein the first section telescopes into and out of the second section so that the device can be placed in an extended state wherein the first section is not inside of the second section and in a compressed state wherein the first section is inside of the second section. 
 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device is comprised of at least a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is attached to the second section so that the first section can pivot with respect to the second section, so that the device can be placed in an extended state wherein a majority of the first section is not along side of the second section and in a folded state wherein a majority of the first section is alongside of the second section. 
 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device is made substantially of an elastic material. 
 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein
 the device is made substantially of a rigid non-elastic material. 
 
     
     
         11 . A method comprising:
 inserting a first tee into a ground; and   inserting a second tee into the ground;   wherein the first tee and the second tee are attached to a device, so that the device connects the first tee and the second tee, so that the first tee is spaced apart from the second tee.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device is configured so that the first tee and the second tee are permanently attached to the device. 
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device is configured so that the first tee and the second tee can be attached or detached from the device. 
 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device connects the first tee and the second tee so that the first tee is substantially parallel to the second tee. 
 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device is comprised of a plurality of openings and wherein each of the first tee and the second tee has a point which can be inserted through each of the plurality of openings to thereby attach each of the first tee and the second tee to the device. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein
 each of the plurality of openings has one or more flaps which bend in order to allow the point of the first tee or the second tee to be inserted into each of the plurality of openings in order to attach the first tee or the second tee to the device. 
 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device is comprised of at least a first section and a second section, wherein the first section telescopes into and out of the second section so that the device can be placed in an extended state wherein the first section is not inside of the second section and in a compressed state wherein the first section is inside of the second section. 
 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device is comprised of at least a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is attached to the second section so that the first section can pivot with respect to the second section, so that the device can be placed in an extended state wherein a majority of the first section is not along side of the second section and in a folded state wherein a majority of the first section is alongside of the second section. 
 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device is made substantially of an elastic material. 
 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11  wherein
 the device is made substantially of a rigid non-elastic material.
