The second seating part 30 may include four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d facing different directions. The four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d have the same shape as each other, but, for example, it can be seen that they are formed in the same shape as a four-leaf clover at the other end of the body 10 .

In order for the golf ball to be easily mounted on the second seating portion 30 , each of the seating pieces 30a , 30b , 30c and 30d is bent outwardly out of the diameter range of the other end of the body 10 . can That is, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , one end of the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d is integrally connected to the other end of the body 10, and the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d) It can be seen that the other end of the body part 10 is outside the diameter range of the other end of the body part 10, and the space between one end and the other end of the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d is bent. Accordingly, the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d may be bent outwardly and closed so as to be out of the diameter range of the other end of the body portion 10 .

On the other hand, the four seating pieces (30a, 30b, 30c, 30d) are formed to be spaced apart from each other.

Among the four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d formed to be spaced apart from each other, the spacing 40 between the adjacent seating pieces may be about 0.1 to 0.5 cm.

The four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d described above may be used when setting (instructing) a tee shot direction to a target point (ie, a point to send a golf ball). That is, since the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d protrude from the other end of the body 10, one of the four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d is selected before the tee shot. so that it can be directed towards the target point. In this way, if any one of the four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d is directed toward the target point and the golf tee is set, the golf ball can be sent to the desired target point or its vicinity more precisely.

It is preferable that the above-mentioned four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d and the above-mentioned four seating pieces 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d are formed to face each other.

Therefore, when the golf ball is placed on the first seating part 20 or the second seating part 30, the golfer may not be able to see the seating pieces of the corresponding seating part on which the golf ball is mounted. In this case, it is in contact with the ground or grass and You can easily recognize the tee shot direction you have set by looking at the seating pieces of other seating areas.

In addition, pigments of different colors may be applied to the four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d, or pigments of the same color as that of the body 10 may be applied.

Even if the color of the four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d is the same as that of the body 10, setting the tee shot direction by using one of the four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d includes: Although there will be no great difficulty, when the color of the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d is the same as that of the body 10, the direction may sometimes be confused when making a tee shot. Therefore, in order to resolve errors such as direction confusion, that is, to more easily recognize the direction of the tee shot set by the golfer, pigments of different colors are applied to the four seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d. It would be more preferable to be

If, when pigments of different colors are applied to the seating pieces 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d, and dyes of different colors are applied to the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d, seating formed to face each other The pieces are preferably coated with a pigment of the same color. For example, the color of the seating piece 20a and the seating piece 30a is the same, the colors of the seating piece 20b and the seating piece 30b are the same, and the seating piece 20c and the seating piece 30c have the same color. It is preferable that the color is the same, and the color of the seating piece 20d and the seating piece 30d is the same. In this way, the direction of the tee shot set using the seating piece will be easily recognized without confusion.

In other words, for example, when a golf ball is placed on the first seating portion 20, the golfer may not be able to properly see the seating pieces 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d because of the golf ball. In this case, by looking at the seating pieces 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d of other seating parts (that is, the second seating part 30) that are in contact with the ground or grass, the direction of the tee shot you set can be easily recognized. .

The seating piece 30a and the seating piece 30c may be positioned on the same line and protrude outward from the other end of the body 10 so as to face opposite directions. The seating piece 30b and the seating piece 30d may be positioned on the same line and protrude outward from the other end of the body 10 so as to face opposite directions.
