My invention relates to portable golf tees only serves the purpose of keeping the e e and has for its object the embodiment of on the ball but holds the eye focused on the certain characteristics in the tee that will right part of the ball. make the device not only serve as a portable To act as an aid to the player in keeping l tee but also have other functions purposing his head down and not trying to anticipate 60 to aid the player in his stance and his drive. the ball in its flight, I prefer to color also the Every golfer knows that the most importcup part ofthe tee upon which the ball rests. ant maxims of the game are Keep your' This color should be also conspicuous but eye on the ball, and Keep your head down different from the focusing mark.

According to my presprises a flat base piece 1, from a central point ent invention 1 make the tee preferably of 2 of which rises a rotuberance 3 to form soft rubber with a substantially fiat piece the tee proper. Th1s tee has a concave top for abase from which rises a tee proper hav- ,4 to form a cup for the ball which top is ing a concave top to hold the ball.

I claim:
1. A portable golf tee characterized by a protuberance serving as a ball support, a pointer in line with the center of the tee to indicate the direction of flight, a second pointer fixed at right angles to the first pointer adapted to show the proper position for the player, and a conspicuous colored mark diametrically opposite the pointer on the other side of the protuberance adapted to show just behind a golf ball resting on the support.
2. A portable golf tee characterized by a protuberance serving as a ball support and having its top surface colored to distinguish it from the other surfaces of the tee, a pointer extending in line with the protuberance and adapted to point the direction of the line of flight, a pointer at right angles to the first pointer adapted to act as a guide for the players stance, and a conspicuous mark on the side of the protuberance diametrically opposite the line of sight pointer to aid in focusing the eye of the player on the place where the ball is to be struck.
