<p>A golf tee comprises a generally rectangular stem 2, and a spike 9 which, in use, is disposed at an angle to the stem. Stem 2 and spike 9 are attached by way of a pivot pin 10 which passes trough the upper end 8 of the spike, and through a vertically elongated aperture 3 in the stem such that the height of stem 2 may be adjusted relative to spike 9, and stem 2 may pivot relative to spike 9. The upper end of spike 9 comprises spaced, opposed members 8 having slots which engage with serrations or ridges 4 provided on stem 2, such that spike 9 grips stem 2 when stem 2 has been positioned at a desired height. When spike 9 is inserted into the ground, stem 2 is free to pivot when struck by a club thus minimising resistance to the passage of the club head, and preventing displacement of the tee by the club.</p> |
