No more lost balls due to badly hit shots.  Use this golf tee which is equipped with photocells (7, 8) and which has a passage in its body (1) connected to an air supply whereby a pulse of air can dislodge the ball from the tee.  The photocells monitor the path of the club head.  If they detect that the player is about to miss-hit the ball a signal initiated at the control box (9) to send a puff of compressed air along the conduit and up the middle of the tee. This blows the ball off the tee so that the player misses it, and does not have to search for a lost ball.
