​​The giant Golf Tee was suggested by the local Country Club president as a way of encouraging more interest in Casey's public golf course. He

and Jim began work on the Tee in July of 2012.  Laminating lumber together to form the tee's rough form took five months. Once the pieces of wood were secured, a chainsaw and sander were used to shape and smooth the surface. The Golf Tee claimed its "World's Largest"

status in May of 2013.
