A giant wooden golf tee 30 ft 9 in (9.37 m) tall, with a head 6 ft 3 in across and a shaft 2 ft 1 in wide. Jim Bolin made it from glued yellow pine boards shaped with chainsaws, and Guinness World Records recorded it as the largest golf tee after it was presented and measured in Casey, Illinois, on 29 January 2013. A 2016 Guinness World Records article described it as permanently installed at the Casey Country Club.

FIELD GUIDE
The story
Guinness World Records recognizes a wooden golf tee made in Casey, Illinois, as the largest in the world.
Guinness gives its height as 30 feet 9 inches, with a head 6 feet 3 inches across and a shaft 2 feet 1 inch wide. It was presented and measured in Casey on 29 January 2013. Guinness's record page lists Jim Bolin as the record holder and says he glued yellow pine boards into a large block and shaped it with chainsaws. Guinness's 2016 article says Bolin and his staff at Bolin Enterprises made the tee, based on the normal-sized tee used at Casey Country Club.
