What is a golf ball holder called?
Tee – Wikipedia
A tee is a stand used in sport to support and elevate a stationary ball prior to striking with a foot, club, or bat. Tees are used extensively in golf, tee-ball, baseball, American football, and rugby.

In golf, a tee is a small peg, typically made of wood or plastic, used to elevate a golf ball off the ground before a shot, especially on the teeing area where each hole begins. It helps golfers achieve a more consistent height and position for their initial shot, improving accuracy and distance.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Purpose:
Tees help golfers elevate the ball, making it easier to strike with their club.
Location:
Tees are primarily used on the teeing area, which is the designated starting area for each hole.
Materials:
Golf tees are commonly made of wood, but plastic and even bamboo or rubber-tipped tees are also available.
Benefits:
Using a tee allows for consistent ball placement, improved club face contact, and potentially greater distance, especially for longer clubs like drivers, according to YouTube.
History:
The term “tee” can also refer to the area from which the ball is struck, and the term may have origins in the Dutch word “tuitje” meaning a little conical shape.
Beyond Golf:
While primarily used in golf, tees have found other applications in sports like baseball, where they’re used for tee ball, and in some cases, in home improvement and crafting, according to This Old House.
