Kool Tee Helps Disabled Golfers Tee Their Ball

Kool Tee

July 7, 2008

My father-in-law broke his neck two winters ago in a skiing accident. It was a very serious incident—and somewhat touch-and-go—but he has managed to recover very nicely. One side effect, however, is that his neck is fused in place—he has very little mobility either sideways or up and down.

That makes it difficult for him to do many things we take for granted, such as getting into and out of cars ... and teeing up balls on the golf course.

Noticing the great difficulty he has with that, I did a web search for products to assist the disabled with teeing a ball. There are quite a few out there, but the Kool Tee looks to me like it might be the best of the bunch.

Still, I’m not sure. At $70, it’s a little expensive to take a flyer.

If anyone has ever used a teeing device, I’d be interested in hearing about your experience.
