The story

According to the Town of Trochu, Trochu won a 40-foot golf tee in a contest. The Town of Trochu's page says that in summer 2009 ATB Financial held its "Teenormous" contest, with "First prize, the World's Largest Golf Tee". Trochu was chosen as a finalist along with Marwayne and Camrose, and the Town says that with over two thirds of the votes at the end of the contest "there was no doubt in anyone's mind that Trochu had just earned itself the 40 foot tall golf tee". On September 30th, the Town says, ATB Financial returned with its team to officially present the tee to the community.
The Town gives the tee's height as 40 feet. Travel Alberta's listing says it rises "12 m (40 ft) above the landscape" and calls it a "giant wooden tee" standing next to the Trochu Golf and Country Club, at 101 Devilder Avenue, Trochu. The Town's undated page says that "recently" the area around the tee was landscaped and lights were added.
