Best Golf Tee Invention In 86 Years!
Posted October 14, 2008 by GolfSpy X
“99.992% Of Golfers Have Used A Golf Tee As A Divot Repair Tool”
Simple Yet A Hell Of An Idea!
A few weeks ago we ran across a simple yet amazing new product. It was a golf tee that we wish we would have invented. Although we are glad Mike from TheDivotTee did! Because it has been 86 years since a golf tee invention will have made as much impact as this one has the potential to make. I can honestly see these becoming the staple for every golf tee company across the country and even the world. That’s because it is simple, useful, biodegradable and every golf course super would push for them as well.
Millions of Golfers Forget To Bring One
The guys at MyGolfSpy and millions of other golfers are tired of having to carry a tee and a divot repair tool in their pocket to every hole. Golfers have enough things to carry with them to the green…just look at all the gadgets in your bag the next time you play. That is why so many of us leave our cell phones, wallets and other devices in the cart sometimes after we leave the course. There just isn’t enough room for all the other stuff. You almost have to sport cargo pants to the course nowadays.

Kill 2 Tools With 1 Tee
What does almost every golfer use to replace his divot if he forgot his divot repair tool?…BINGO…A golf tee! Tell me again why one of us didn’t think of this? Like we said though…we are glad the man behind TheDivotTee did…because that means one less tool we have to carry around with us next time we go play. Yes…that means you can get rid of those fancy Scotty Cameron divot tools you own that stab you in the leg or punch a hole in your pant pockets.

The Divot Tee
After 3 years and 19 prototypes later Mike McCarthy finally realized his dream would actually become a reality. TheDivotTee is now in its 20th and last prototype stage before it hits stores across the country I am sure. This tee is proof that there are still a lot of good ideas that have not been invented yet.
Coming Soon to a Store Near You…In the Meantime Go Check Out TheDivotTee!

We spoke with the owner/inventor yesterday and they should be coming in very soon!

Thanks Gary !!! They will be available soon.

Course supers should start giving these away to encourage more people to fix their ball marks. I know my single ball doesn’t leave four divots when it hits the green (well …. when it does hit the green).

I totally agree…I wish the best for Mike and TheDivotTee…I think it is a great idea.

How awesome !!! Finally, someone isn’t claiming my tee will make you “hit it longer”, “hit it straighter”. The only thing this tee claims to do is to help us keep our greens in better shape.
Congratsulations, you seem to care. I’ll be looking for these tees and I will do my part in helping.

Three reasons why this will fail:
First off who reuses a wooden tee? No One, why? Because they brake after your tee shot.
Secondly they would brake trying to push in on the ball mark.
Thirdly they would do more harm to the greens than good b/c of how many times you would need to insert to fix one ball mark. In reality you would make your ball mark twice the size.
I Like the idea very much though but with all the conditions we play in today that will not stand a chance out there in the real world. Good Luck!!

CKNutter, thanks for your comments. Let me answer your objections. #1. Tiger Woods, the best player on the planet, (watch him closely on the tee) plus these are made of Bamboo not wood, so they are very durable and environmently friendly. #2. they don’t break while fixing the ball mark (have you even tried them?) #3. Three or four times pending on the size of the ball mark. I suggest you pick up a bag and give them a try, then will be looking forward to all your comments.
Thanks again,
Mike

not knocking the product in any way but shouldn’t this be called a ‘pitchmarktee’ as divot tee makes it sound like u use it in the fairway?
