A golf tee system comprising an insertion tool a thin-walled, hollow, thin-walled golf tee for holding a golf ball at a given height. When the structural insertion tool is non-fixedly inserted into the thinned walled tee to become a rigid golf tee system and resist collapsing and allowing insertion of the hollow golf tee into the ground surface.

Once the golf tee system is inserted into the ground surface to a desired depth, the structural insertion tool is removed from the hollow golf tee, creating a hollow tee device can be used as a golf ball tee which shatterable, thereby creating a more stable trajectory and increased distance. In addition, the hollow tee is more environmentally friendly than other tees.

A method and apparatus for lifting and setting a golf ball on a golf tee without bending include a shaft holding a lifter-setter tool to lift and set a golf ball onto a golf tee plus a parking tray with means for parking a lifter-setter tool upright on the parking tray. The lifter-setter tool is parked upright on the parking tray with Readily Dissociable Fasteners (RDFs) including an upright parking pin fastened to the parking tray and hook-and-loop fasteners, touch fasteners, and mushroom head fasteners, inter alia.

A golf aid device for placing in the ground a tee and a golf ball thereon includes an elongate body, a ball and tee holder at a lower end of the elongate body, and a manually operable control means at an upper end of the elongate body. The ball and tee holder is movable between a closed state wherein a ball and tee may be held thereby, and an open position wherein the ball and tee may be removed therefrom. The manually operable control means is configured for moving the holder between the closed and open states, wherein upon moving the holder to the closed state, the device is biased to remain in the closed state.

A golf ball teeing device allows a tee with a golf ball balanced thereon, to be securely pierced into the ground, without having to bend over.

A tool for a golfer for manipulating a golf ball and a golf tee while in a standing position includes an elongated body having a fixed handle and a pivotable trigger fixed proximate an upper end thereof.
