Reusable bottle cap with golf tee
A reusable bottle cap includes a panel having a top surface and a bottom surface. A sidewall extends downwardly from a periphery of the panel away from the bottom surface. The sidewall is configured to engage with an outer surface of a bottle neck proximate a rim of the bottle when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck. A peg extends downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel and is spaced from the sidewall. The peg is configured to be spaced from an inner surface of the bottle neck when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck.
1 . A reusable bottle cap comprising:
a panel having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a sidewall extending downwardly from a periphery of the panel away from the bottom surface, the sidewall configured to engage with an outer surface of a bottle neck proximate a rim of the bottle when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck;
a peg extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel and spaced from the sidewall and including a distal end with a receiving aperture extending therefrom towards the panel, the peg configured to be spaced from an inner surface of the bottle neck when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck; and
a golf tee attachment positioned within the receiving aperture such that the golf tee attachment is detachably coupled to the peg.
2 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall extends downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel by a first distance and the peg extends downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel by a second distance that is greater than the first distance.
3 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 2 , wherein the first distance is about 0.375 inches, and the second distance is about 0.535 inches.
4 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the panel extends circumferentially around a central axis and the peg extends downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel along the central axis.
5 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the peg has an outer diameter that is less than an inner diameter of the sidewall.
6 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 wherein the peg has an outer diameter that is equal to about 75% of an inner diameter of the sidewall.
7 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the peg is configured to receive a golf ball as a golf tee when the panel is placed on a ground surface such that the golf ball does not directly contact the sidewall.
8 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the receiving aperture is configured to interchangeably couple a plurality of different golf tee attachments to the peg.
9 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the panel, sidewall and peg are comprised of a generally flexible material.
10 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall and peg form a bottle opener.
11 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the peg includes a generally frustoconical recess at the distal end of the peg and configured to receive a portion of a golf ball.
12 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 further comprising:
a magnet fixedly coupled to the panel, the magnet configured to detachably couple the reusable bottle cap to a metallic surface.
13 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 12 further comprising:
a golf ball marker detachably coupled to a recess at the top surface the panel by the magnet.
14 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 13 , wherein the panel extends circumferentially around a central axis and the magnet is embedded within the panel and offset from the central axis.
15 . The reusable bottle cap of claim 1 , wherein the golf tee attachment is adjustably coupled to the receiving aperture such that, while positioned within the receiving aperture, a height from a distal end of the golf tee attachment to the peg is adjustable to a desired height, and
wherein the receiving aperture is configured to retain the golf tee attachment at the desired height.
16 . A reusable bottle cap comprising:
a panel having a top surface defining a first recess and a bottom surface opposite the top surface;
a ball marker detachably received within the first recess at the top surface of the panel and magnetically coupled thereto via a magnet embedded in the panel;
a sidewall extending downwardly from a periphery of the panel away from the bottom surface, the sidewall configured to engage with an outer surface of a bottle neck proximate a rim of the bottle when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck;
a peg extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel and spaced from the sidewall, an outer surface of the peg spaced from an inner surface of the sidewall, the peg including a generally frustoconical recess open at a distal end of the peg and configured to receive a golf ball, and a receiving aperture open at the recess of the peg and extending upwardly toward the top surface of the panel; and
a golf tee attachment positioned within the receiving aperture such that the golf tee attachment is detachably coupled to the peg.
17 . A method of placing a golf ball on a tee, the method comprising:
placing a reusable bottle cap on a ground surface, the reusable bottle cap comprising:
a panel having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a sidewall extending downwardly from a periphery of the panel away from the bottom surface, the sidewall configured to engage with an outer surface of a bottle neck proximate a rim of the bottle when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck; and
a peg extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel and spaced from the sidewall, the peg configured to be spaced from an inner surface of the bottle neck when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck; and
placing a golf ball on the peg such that the golf ball is elevated above the ground surface by at least 0.50 inches,
wherein when placed on the ground surface the top surface of the panel rests on the ground surface.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein placing the golf ball on the peg further includes inserting a golf tee attachment into a receiving aperture to couple the golf tee attachment to the peg and placing the golf ball on the golf tee attachment such that the golf ball is elevated above the ground surface.
19 . The method of claim 17 further comprising:
prior to placing the reusable bottle cap on the ground surface, removing the reusable bottle cap from the mouth of a bottle; and
following placing the golf ball on the peg, reattaching the reusable bottle cap to the mouth of the bottle such that a fluid seal is formed between the reusable bottle cap and bottle.
20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the peg includes a generally frustoconical recess at a distal end of the peg and placing the golf ball on the peg includes placing the golf ball within the recess at the distal end of the peg.
