Abstract
A golf tee is provided for use with a driving range mat. The tee has a base portion that extends into a hole in the mat, and terminates below the upper surface of the mat. A generally semi-rigid tee portion is slidable in the base portion so the tee portion is vertically adjustable. The base is made of a resilient material, and has an upper wall divided into segments. The hole in the mat may be sized to squeeze the segments inwardly to grip the tee portion more firmly. The tee portion has a base received within the base portion so the tee portion cannot be easily removed from the base portion. The diameter of the base portion is sufficient that the tee portion will not engage the mat when the tee is hit by a golf club, to prevent degradation of the mat.
