Abstract (en)

A golf tee (10;20;30;40) includes a visible indicium (19;29;39;49) (e.g., color, markings, letters, etc) corresponding to a tee length and part of a coding scheme assigning unique visible indicia to respective tee lengths and/or golf club configurations. A point of purchase display (100) includes a chart (200) correlating tee lengths with identifiers for golf club configurations, brands and models. The chart follows the same coding scheme used on the golf tees. Separate compartments (110,120,130,140) in the point of purchase display contain golf tees of the same length. Appropriate visible indicia are printed on adjacent compartments containing corresponding length tees. Bags containing tees of the same length have visible indicia printed thereon matching visible indicia in the chart. <IMAGE>
