The golf industry is growing.

Over 28 million people play golf, in America alone, and the industry will only get bigger."By 2016, the US golf course revenues will grow at a CAGR 3.75% led by positive growth in golf facilities and operations" (marketresearch.com).
Golf is a Competitive sport.
The few times I played golf, I found it extremely competitive. Even though you may only hear of golf tournaments like the PGA tour, there are thousands of golfers competing in smaller tournaments across America, in hopes of making to the professional level one day.
The equipment you use in golf we effect your performance.
Like any competitive sport, athletes want the top of the line equipment to to maximize their performance. In golf I think the equipment the golfer uses is extremely important, Unlike other sports like basketball or football where for the most part everyones equipment is the same, and the sport provides the football so to speak. But in golf everyones equipment is different. You will see a dramatic difference in your performance if for example, you use a low end golf club compared to a high end golf club. Since golf is so competitive everyone wants the top of the line equipment; to get an edge on their competition.
The golf tee is a important factor that golfers sometimes ignore.
The type of golf tee and the way you place your golf tee in the ground, has a huge impact, on the direction and distance of your ball. For example if your golf tee if slightly titled left then the ball will most likely not go in a straight direct. If your golf tee is slanted forward your golf ball will mostly like not travel as far as your were hoping.
The problem with the traditional golf tee is it does not have a strong base.
The traditional golf tee has just one stake in the ground, and the golf ball is barely balancing on the top of the tee. If there is wind for example the ball might slightly move in certain direction, with out the golfer noticing. Since the traditional golf tee only has one stake, the one stake could be loose in the ground, for example if the ground is wet the golf tee will be loose. This effects the shock of the ball in your swing, and therefor in will affect how far the ball travels.
The solution.
I came up with a solution for perfecting the tee. With my Perfect Tee (name is tentative), you will increase your distance and accuracy. The solution is simple, put more stakes in the ground, which will make the tee more sturdy, and therefor tee will not be affected by the weather. It will stay in place improving your shots accuracy. The Perfect Tee will have four stakes in the ground, as oppose to the conventional tee, which only has one stake.
The second advantage The Perfect Tee has is its absorption of the shock. With the conventional tee there is only one stack in the ground making it less stable, and it prone to move around especially on wet grass. As I stated if the tee moves even a little, so little you do not even notice, it can affect your shot by many feet in a certain direction. With The Perfect Tee the tee will have four stakes in the ground, which will keep the tee in place, and therefor will keep the ball in place.
A good analogy to The Perfect Tee and the conventional tee would be like building a bridge. The builders want the bridge to be as stable as possible, so the bridge does not move due to weather. And if the bridge does not move either will the car on the bridge. But imagine the car has too travel in a straight line across the bridge, even the slightest movement, in the right or left direction, will affect the cars performance. You can apply the same concept to a golf tee.
Conclusion
The slightest move of the ball can effect your shot. The Perfect Tee is more stable making your shot travel further and increasing your accuracy.
