In addition to the golf ball along with the golf tee (2) is also flying, but the golf tee (2) is connected to the fixing member 40 and the string 30 so as to fly a certain distance to the ground after stopping by the string (30) Will fall. At this time, as the golf tee 2 is blown, the tension 30 acts on the string 30, and the string 30 is released from the tulle 24. However, the tensile force and elastic force of the string acting on the string 30, that is, the elastic force of the elastic member 22 fixed to the rotating shaft 20 is acted on so that the string 30 does not fly anymore and a repulsive force is generated by the elastic force. . Repulsive force is transmitted to the entire case 10, the support member 16 for fixing the case 10 to the ground is to overcome the repulsive force. The tensile force of the string 30 overcomes the force applied to the golf tee 2, and when the force exceeds the tensile force of the string 30, the elastic force of the elastic member 22 overcomes, and a greater force than this is achieved. When applied, the force applied to the golf tee 2 is overcome by the support force of the support member 16.

Thereafter, the golf tee 2 dropped on the ground is pulled toward the case 10 by the fixing member 40 coupled to the body and the strap 30 connected to the fixing member 40. In other words, the awl 24 is the restoring force of the elastic member 22 connected to the rotary shaft 20 is transmitted to act to wrap the string 30 to the awl 24, the string 30 is fixed while winding around the awl 24 The golf tee 2 fixed to the member 40 is returned to the case 10. Therefore, the golf tee 2 is separated from the golf ball after the golf ball flies to return to the case 10.
