Abstract
A device for inserting a golf tee in the ground at a determined height has a housing with a tubular interior shaft, and having two opposed side slots. Locking strips with parallel teeth on opposites sides of slots are fixed within the housing. A pusher assembly has flexible pivot arms with locking teeth which face outwardly towards the locking strip teeth such that in an undeflected configuration, the pivot arm teeth engage with the locking strip to fix the pusher assembly at a selected height. Release buttons on the arms are engaged through the locking strip and housing slots for adjusting the height of the pusher. The housing has a base with a downwardly facing opening through which a golf tee is inserted to engage the pusher assembly. With the pusher assembly set at a calibrated height, the tee is insertable by urging the entire assembly against the ground.
