Abstract
Abstract A group of short and preferably flexible tubes receives the shanks of standard golf tees in a gentle force fit. The group is suspended from a player's belt, or can engage the handle ring of a golf bag with the aid of a snap hook or a key ring. The group can be molded integrally with a planar body portion of triangular configuration for the display of ornamental features.
