Tommy Tee: Because Golfing is Better Together

My bother Tom was a caring husband, father, brother, and golfer. Despite living near a golf course, he would drive anhour to golf with his favorite foursome, a group where all but Tom were in their 80s. Tom saw his friends strugglingto tee up their golf balls, which became harder with sore joints and a need for reading glasses, especially when the ground froze in the winters. The idea of Tommy Tee – a product that makes it easy for people of all ages to tee up golf balls on all surfaces year-round – was born to help Tom’s friends remain independent golfers and to make golf more accessible to people with physical differences and injuries that make it hard to tee up the ball.

Tom passed away from an unexpected illness before the design was finished. Hundreds of people he helped over the years attended his celebration of life, including his beloved golfers. As his brother, I wanted to continue Tom’slegacy of making golf more accessible to groups of friends. Tom was supported by our two additional teammates – John and Nate – in his Tommy Tee idea, and together we finished developing Tommy Tee using computer aided designs and searching for manufacturers who could produce a version that met our high standards for quality, usability, and affordability. Thus, Tommy Tee moved from an idea to a real product that can keep friends golfing together. It is our dream to make the Tommy Teeavailable globally, so that age, vision, hand mobility, and weather are no longer barriers to golfing together.

We hope you enjoy using the Tommy Tee and remember our friend and brother Tom’s legacy of taking care of your loved ones.

The Partners,
George, John, and Nate
