For the golfing nut in the family. Cool! I know you described it as a desk ornament, but any nifty ideas on how to incorporate a hook for a tree ornament? Anyone?

 I would:

a) Take a X-ACTO or similar craft knife and cut a notch about one centimeter or so from the tip (the side farthest from the golf ball) of whichever tee you wish to be the top.

b) Aquire some sewing thread (also called floss -- not the stuff for your teeth) and tie a nice, tight knot around that notch from step 'a.'  P'raps double it around to ensure it's tight.  Make sure there's one to three inches left over, depending on how far from the branch you want it to hang.  

c)  Bend one side of a paperclip so that it can fit over the branch of a tree.  Tie the thread (or floss, if you prefer) around the other, still coiled side of the paperclip.

d)  Place the finished ornament onto a tree branch.

e)  Be merry.

f)*  Visit my blog, http://ramblingsrobert.wordpress.com.
*Note that step 'f' is purely optional.  Also, forgive my shameless self-promotion.

Has anyone tried any other type of glue than hot glue ? Maybe super glue or something ? The one I made is pretty fragile :(

Fabri-Tac works on everything!

 i think wood glue might work well. also: this looks more like a spiky ball of death (for throwing at someone you don't like) than an ornament...

That is a pretty cool idea, and really simple too. If you had enough of the different colored tees, you could make patterns and such too. Bravo !
