Thanks to an ever-increasing variety of golf playing aids like our Assistive Devices, every golfer - regardless of age or disability - can practice and play without enduring the consequences of repetitive bending and stooping. If you're in the market for golf gifts, you might want to take a closer look at all the benefits our teeing devices can offer your favorite player.

While all of our golf aids for retirees enable seniors to play comfortably, our teeing devices specifically address the issue of repetitive motion (and the wear and tear associated with it) during the process of preparing the ball for contact. These products are so handy that they appeal to the full spectrum of golfers, ranging from able-bodied to disabled players - and many in between!

One of our popular assistive playing aids is Joe's Original Backtee, which clips on any standard grip and makes positioning balls and tees a cinch. Once you position the device directly over the ball, the Backtee's unique characteristics let you retrieve the ball a couple of different ways. The Backtee's tapered V-slot inserts and picks up any standard tee, and its tee-pick feature makes quick work of tees, pencils, or cigarettes that are lying on the course.

Love the idea of the Backtee, but hate the idea of clipping it on and off your club? Then the Upright Golf Stick is for you! Essentially a Joe's Backtee that has been permanently attached to a Pride golf grip, the Golf Stick does everything the Backtee does and more. Its additional features will hold extra clubs, pick up the flag stick, and repair divots.

Another one of our assistive golf aids designed to simplify the teeing process is our Upright Tee Toss, a 2" durable rubber square with a tee hole in the center. It works with either a standard tee or the oversized-head MagnaFlex tee. After inserting the tee, just toss the square on the ground where you plan on teeing up; it lands upright most of the time, but if it doesn't, the Upright Golf Stick can quickly correct it.

The RangePro Tee is one of our golf aids for the disabled that can be used with great results by players of all ability levels. This flexible golf tee is durable enough to last through thousands of plays, and it holds its permanent height of 1 1/2" for accuracy every time. Just stake your RangePro Tee (it comes with two plastic stakes), and don't worry about retrieving your practice tee, no matter how many times you hit the ball. The RangePro is compatible with our ADAptive Golf Stick, making it an effective adaptive playing aid for golfers who practice from a wheelchair.

For a combination that virtually eliminates bending and stooping from your game, pair the Golf Stick with our MagnaFlex Putting Pack. This comprehensive package includes an Upright Claw pickup tool, three MagnaFlex ball markers, three MagnaFlex metal markers, and a head magnet. Just peel off the cover from the head magnet and stick it near the toe end on the bottom side of your putter head; this will allow you to pick up any magnet-friendly markers from a standing position. The durable plastic Claw securely screws into the hole at the end of your grip, and its sleek profile makes it an unobtrusive addition to your golf bag.

With more than half of golfers over age 50 experiencing problems with their lower backs, hips, and knees, it's no wonder that progress in assistive technology has broadened significantly in recent years. Not only do our teeing devices and other golf aids for seniors help get "seasoned citizens" back into play, they also assist younger people with disabilities whose challenges might otherwise prevent them from enjoying time on the golf course.
