BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a golf tee having a flexible midsection made of shape memory metal. The ability for this special class of metal to return to its original shape after being bent out of shape makes it possible for it to be successfully used in many applications. In this case, when an impact is applied to the golf tee, the force is deflected away from the tee. The golf tee returns to its original position after the impact. 2. Description of the Related Art Golf tee is an important accessory of a golf game. Golf tee positions the golf ball in an elevated position for the golf club to hit. When the golf club hits the tee, the tee is often lost or broken. Many patents were disclosed to overcome these shortcomings. U.S. Pat. No. 6,783,470 disclosed a spring loaded golf tee. U.S. Pat. No. 2,839,304 disclosed a deflectable tee. U.S. Pat. No. 5,683,313 disclosed a vented tee. U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,170 disclosed a flexible tee with a sliding tee top. U.S. Pat. No. 2,531,470 disclosed a tee with a flexible body. This invention improves deflection characteristic of the prior patents by utilizing a shape memory metal as a mean to relieve impact energy. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention has been accomplished to provide a golf tee to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks. It is one object of this invention to provide a golf tee that is flexible to deflect impact energy and be able to return to its original shape. It is another object of this invention to provide a golf tee having a pre programmed shape. It is another object of this invention to provide a golf tee that is not easily lost or break. It is another object of this invention to provide a method for its construction.
