Abstract
A golf tee has a collar thereon which forms a stop when the tee is placed in the ground to set the top of the tee at a predetermined height above the ground. The collar position is set in separate tees for each golf club and for each golfer so that when the ball is placed on the tee, the head of the golf club will strike the ball at an optimum position, as may be desired. A modification of the basic device uses an extension piece which fits into the top of the tee so that the same tee can be adapted by using different length extension pieces to satisfy various height requirements. This extension piece has a tee seat for the ball on one end and a pin on the other end which fits into a hole formed in the ball seat of the tee.
