BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For a better understanding of the present invention, a preferred embodiment thereof will be described in more detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show a preferred embodiment thereof, without limiting it thereto.

The toy (T) according to the present invention shown in FIG.
A substantially elongated body consisting of a lower rigid portion 1 pierced by the gland and a flexible upper portion 2 that can deflect and serve as a support 3 that actually supports the golf ball 4 and protrudes from the gland. Make up.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the flexible upper part 2 is connected to a preferably rigid, rigid lower part 1 which pierces the ground, preferably a transparent coaxial shape. It consists of a cylindrical member.

In order to stab a tee on the ground,
In an embodiment, it has a fixture or key 5 which is screwed coaxially with the rigid lower part 1 by being inserted into the upper part 2 which is a flexible tubular member.

The fixing device 5 has a hand grip 6, and serves to pull out and insert the tee from the ground.
The thread 5A at the lower end can be easily attached to and detached from the tee of the present invention.
Are adapted to be connected to corresponding threads 5B above the lower part 1 inside said upper part 2.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4,
The insertion of the tee (T) into the ground is facilitated by making an appropriate hole in a desired position of the ground. For this purpose, the fixing tool 5 is used as a punch, and the detachable tip 7 is temporarily screwed down to the lower end to cut out the gland.

The second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 can be used more easily without having to make a hole in the ground in advance. In this case, a thread 8 is formed on the outer surface of the rigid lower portion 1 to be pierced, and the tee is screwed into the ground by being rotated by the fixing tool 5.

In the second embodiment, the lower cylindrical end of the fixture 5 with the radial projections 9 is inserted into a corresponding upper axial hole 9a formed in the rigid lower part 1, and The projection 9 can be connected to the inverted T-shaped groove 10 of the upper axial hole 9a to transmit the screwing or unscrewing rotation.

Thus, the ties can be fixed in a particularly simple manner, and since the fasteners 5 are inserted into the housing, the ties are screwed or unthreaded with respect to the gland when they are first partially idled. Will be.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 8 and 9, there are two possible variants with respect to the connection of the fasteners or fasteners 5 and the ties suitable for the screw-in embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the connection is a minus or plus screw driver, while FIG. 9 shows the connection as a socket head screw, such as a square, hexagon or triangle as shown.

Finally, FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which the flexible upper part 2 is fixed to the rigid lower part 1 as in FIG. 9 to form a tie according to the invention. In this case, the fixing is performed by a small radial screw V that blocks the lower end of the cylindrical upper part 2 to the upper end of the rigid lower part 1 pierced by the ground.

Of course, according to the present invention, many other fixing devices may be used, and furthermore, a fixing type or a detachable type is also possible, and the upper part 2 which is hit and damaged by a club by a shot can be replaced. .

Finally, as shown in the figures, the rigid lower part 1 of the tee preferably has a conical shape that can easily pierce the ground.

While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention may be modified without departing from the scope of the invention described above. For example, the flexible upper portion 2 may be made of a rigid material instead of a flexible material, and may be flexibly coupled to the lower portion 1 by known flexible means such as a helical spring or other similar flexible member. Is also possible.

As another modification, the inside of the flexible upper portion 2 is provided to prevent sudden entry of foreign matter such as soil, sand, and pebbles that hinder the insertion of the fixture 5 and the like into the housing. It can be deformed and become flexible sections or breaks. In an embodiment, such sections or partitions are in the form of thin disks arranged crosswise with respect to the flexible upper part 2 and are arranged in a cross-shaped manner.
It has two central notches and opens above the insert or fixture 5 so that it closes immediately after the key is withdrawn from the tee.

[0030]

As described above, the tee according to the present invention can be firmly provided during golf training or a lesson without the tee on which the ball is placed flying upon the player's shot. It can be fixed to the ground, and the tee will not be lost. Therefore, the effect that the number of shots can be increased also occurs. In addition, the tee can easily and firmly pierce the ground, and the tee can be easily pierced and pulled out.
