Abstract An improved golf tee having a tubular, elongated body form, the body having at one end a planar cross-sectional end surface cut at approximately a 45* angle to the longitudinal axis of the tee body and a pointed, solid opposite end portion which may be received into the earth. In use the tee is positioned in the earth at approximately a 45* angle with the sharp pointed end capable of being driven into hard turf, while the planar 45* cross-sectional end forms a ball receiving surface adapted to receive and support a golf ball thereon. The tee provides driving alignment for the player by exposing a portion of the tee body, the longitudinal axis being directed along the intended flight path of the ball. The angular disposition with the turf reduces tee breakage by allowing the club face to strike the surface body of the tee obliquely. Increased ball driving distance is achieved due to direct ball, club face contact.
