Description

  The present invention relates to a golf tee used in a golf game.

  In a golf game, a player inserts a golf tee into a tee and uses a club such as a driver to hit a ball placed on the golf tee and perform a tee shot. In a tee shot, a golf tee flies forward, diagonally forward right, diagonally forward left, backward, etc., depending on the swing path, club face orientation, and the like.

  When the swing path is down-blow, the golf tee flies backward because reverse rotation is applied to the golf tee. When a tee shot is made in such a swing trajectory, spin is applied to the ball, so the ball rises and travels a distance. Therefore, it is generally said that the golf tee should fly backwards. For this reason, the player gets satisfaction when the golf tee flies backward.

  However, for example, when the swing trajectory has an upper feeling, the golf tee often flies forward. If the golf tee flies forward, it becomes difficult to find the golf tee, and the player may lose the golf tee. Also, there is often no flight distance. In such a case, the player becomes mentally depressed. Further, when the golf tee is made of plastic, if the golf tee is left on the grass of the course, the blade of the lawn mower may be caught by the golf tee and damaged.

  In Patent Document 1, by connecting a non-stretchable non-stretchable string body to a tee body, connecting a stretchable elastic string body to the non-stretchable string body, and further connecting a weight, A golf tee is disclosed that can be easily collected and prevented from being lost so that it can only fly nearby.

  The present invention has been made from the background described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf tee capable of exerting a mentally good influence on a player.

In order to achieve the above object, a golf tee according to the present invention is formed at one end, and a tee body having a placement portion on which a ball is placed and a tip portion formed at the other end and inserted into the ground. repulsion with the formed bifurcated from the tee main body in front of the pointed end, is formed in the so that spread from the tee main body, and a flexible to be bent in the direction of the pointed end The rebound member is inserted into the ground together with the tip portion of the tee body, and the tee body is struck from the repulsion member side in a state of being inserted into the ground, and the rebound member side from the rebound member side. When a force is applied to the tee body, the tee body is urged to fly in a direction opposite to the direction of the force.

Preferably, the golf tee main body further includes a ring that is movably attached in the axial direction of the golf tee main body and holds the golf tee main body and the repulsion member in a substantially parallel state.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to exert a mentally favorable influence on the player.

FIG. 1 shows a golf tee 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1A, a golf tee 10 includes a golf tee body 12, a placement portion 14 formed at one end of the golf tee body 12, and an end portion different from the placement portion 14 in the golf tee body 12. Are provided with two pointed ends 16a and 16b, a ring 18 for bundling the two pointed ends 16a and 16b, and a fastening member 20a and 20b for preventing the ring 18 from being detached from the golf tee body 12.

  The golf tee body 12 is made of wood or plastic and has a length of 40 to 70 mm, for example. The placement part 14 is a part for placing a golf ball. The center of the mounting portion 14 is recessed so that the golf ball does not roll off.

  The tip portions 16a and 16b are formed by dividing the golf tee body 12 into two forks. Of the two pointed ends 16 a and 16 b, one pointed end 16 b is formed so as to spread outward with respect to the axis of the golf tee main body 12. The pointed portion 16b constitutes a repelling member that repels a force from one direction on the golf tee body 12. The lengths of the tip portions 16a and 16b are, for example, 20 to 30 mm.

  The ring 18 is made of, for example, wood, plastic, rubber or the like. The golf tee body 12 is passed through the ring 18, and the ring 18 is attached so as to be movable in the axial direction of the golf tee body 12.

  The fastening members 20 a and 20 b are convex portions attached to the side of the golf tee main body 12 and below the ring 18. The fastening members 20a and 20b are made of, for example, wood, plastic, rubber or the like. The fastening members 20a and 20b may be a part of the golf tee body 12.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, the tip 16b has flexibility and can be bent in the direction of the other tip 16a. When the tip portion 16 is bent in the direction of the tip portion 16 a, the tip portion 16 tends to return toward the outer side with respect to the axis of the golf tee body 12. When the ring 18 is moved in the direction of the pointed portions 16a and 16b in a state where the one pointed end portion 16a and the other pointed end portion 16b are aligned, the pointed end portions 16a and 16b are moved to the golf tee main body 12 by the ring 18. It is held in a state substantially parallel to the axial direction. The ring 18 can be moved to a position in contact with the upper portions of the fastening members 20a and 20b.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a method of using the golf tee 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 2, the golf tee 10 is used by being inserted into a tee ground in a state where the tip portion 16 b is spread. The player inserts the golf tee 10 into the tee ground so that the tip portion 16b faces in the direction opposite to the swing direction. The ball 22 is placed on the placement portion 14 of the golf tee 10 with the golf tee 10 inserted into the tee ground.

  An arrow A in the figure indicates the swing direction of the club and the direction in which the ball 22 flies. When the ball 22 is struck by the club in the direction of arrow A, the golf tee body 12 may also be struck by the club. In this case, one end of the golf tee main body 12 on the side of the mounting portion 14 is moved in the direction of arrow B in the figure, and the tip end portion 16a at the other end is moved in the direction of the tip end portion 16b.

  When the tip 16a is moved in the direction of the tip 16b, the tip 16a is urged in a direction opposite to the tip 16b by reaction. Accordingly, one end of the golf tee body 12 on the side of the placement portion 14 is urged in the direction of arrow C in the figure, and the golf tee 10 flies in the direction of arrow C. As described above, when a force is applied to the golf tee main body 12 from one direction, for example, as indicated by the arrow A, the tip 16b is repelled by this force, so that the golf tee 10 comes off the tee ground. Fly towards the back of the tee.

  Therefore, the golf tee 10 flies backward without depending on the swing path, the orientation of the club face, and the like. Therefore, since the player gets satisfaction, the golf tee 10 can exert a mentally good influence on the player. In addition, loss of the golf tee 10 is prevented.

  When the player carries the golf tee, the player places the golf tee in the state shown in FIG. For this reason, the player can easily carry the golf tee, and for example, even when it is put in clothes, it can be easily taken out without hurting the hand.

FIG. 3 shows a golf tee 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. 3 that are substantially the same as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
As shown in FIG. 3, the golf tee 10 according to the present embodiment is the first in that one point 16b of the two points 16a, 16b is bent toward the other point 16a. This is different from the golf tee 10 according to the embodiment.

  More specifically, the end portion of the tip portion 16 b is bent in the axial direction of the golf tee main body 12. Preferably, the end portion of the tip portion 16b is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the golf tee body 12. Therefore, according to the golf tee 10 according to the present embodiment, the player can easily insert the golf tee 10 into the tee ground.

1 shows a golf tee 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows the usage method of the golf tee 10 which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention. 1 shows a golf tee 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
