Abstract

A reusable golf tee having a bidirectionally pivotal head comprises a head member, a peg member and pivot means coupling the head member and peg member. The head member includes a concave perch for nesting a golf ball thereon for tee shots. The head member further includes an elongated shaft axially projected downward from the perch and insertable into a channel formed between a pair of shoulders on the peg member. The peg member also includes a tapered tip to facilitate insertion into a tee area. Pivot means permits the head member to pivot as forces act on the head member and peg member collectively. Pivoting of the head member may be accomplished in two directions (bidirectional).
