A golf tee has a tee body that forms at least three ball support points that are each spaced from a center point of the tee body. The tee body further has at least three ground contact points that are each positioned between two of the ball support points for supporting the tee body and the golf ball above the ground surface. The tee body is constructed such that the ball support points are spaced from the ground contact points such that a golf ball is supported above the ground surface.
