BACKGROUND
A golf tee is typically a thin, wood or plastic peg, two or three inches in height, atop which a golf ball sits in a stable and stationary position. Typically a tee is pushed down into the turf at the tee box, leaving a portion of the tee above ground, and the ball placed atop the golf tee prior to playing the stroke. A golf tee may only be used on the tee box under certain golfing rules, although the use of a tee is not required. A separate divot tool is used to repair divots on golf greens and/or fairways and/or other areas of a golf course caused by golf balls landing on the ground. Divot tools typically include a sharp bottom portion to assist with digging under the divot when repairing the divot.

Golf tee 100 may include a top portion 102, a thumb panel 104, a stem portion 106, and a bottom portion 108. Top portion 102 may include several ball positioning elements 102a. The ball positioning elements 102 may be configured to hold and position a golf ball on top portion 102. The ball positioning elements 102 may extend vertically and outwardly from top portion 102. The thumb panel 104 may be integrally coupled to top portion 102. Also, the thumb panel 104 may be used by a golfer to grip and position the golf tee 100 on the ground for play. A stem portion 106 may extend vertically and integrally connect thumb panel 104 and bottom portion 108. A golfer may apply a vertical force on the thumb panel 104, which leads to bottom portion 108 to be pressed firmly into the ground. Note bottom portion 108 may include a fork blade design which assists in firmly positioning golf tee 100 into the ground.
Given the fork design at the bottom portion 108 of the tee and the position of the thumb panel 104 along the top portion 102 of the tee, the golf tee according to the present disclosure serves a dual use; that is, the golf tee can be used to position a golf ball at the top portion 102, while the bottom portion can also be used as a divot repair tool in addition to positioning the tee into the ground. It is noted that in some embodiments (as described further below), the thumb panel 104 may be removed while still achieving dual use of the golf tee. When playing a golf stroke into a green, the trajectory of the golf ball often takes a high trajectory causing an indentation, or divot, when the ball lands on the green. It is typical and courteous for golfers to repair the divots they create, and thus most golf players carry a separate divot repair tool to properly repair the divot on the green. According to the present disclosure, a dual use golf tee/divot tool is provided such that the golfer no longer needs to carry a separate divot repair tool, but may rather use a dual use device to both tee up the golf ball and repair the divot. The thumb panel 104 and fork design provide an ergonomic arrangement for the golfer to easily repair divots, while also using the same device to tee up the golf ball for play.
