The current embodiment of the broken golf tee collection container is designed to elevate over the dashboard of a golf cart or a similar vehicle using attachment brackets and can be easily removed and reattached. The container has a bottom with slots for water to drain. The angled or vertical sides and the open top design of the container makes it easy to store and to remove broken golf tees, as needed. The top portions of the attachment brackets are secured to the left and right edges on the bottom part of the container and support the container in an almost level position above the dashboard. The lower portion of the attachment brackets are a rotated block “U” shape, which slides onto and over the dashboard to secure the container and contents during the normal operation of the golf cart.

1. An apparatus for collecting broken golf tees utilizing a golf cart or a similar vehicle, wherein said apparatus comprises: a collection container comprised of a resilient shock resistant material, wherein the collection container has a planar bottom that provides dampened flexibility, wherein the bottom has a plurality of elliptical holes/slots that are sufficient in size and number to drain away rain water keeping the collection container free of standing water, yet small enough to retain any fractional element of the broken golf tees, a set of fastener openings, and contiguous with the planar bottom there is a perimeter wall having sections that are inclined or vertical, wherein the perimeter wall has a height that is at least one fifth as high as the bottom is wide, which is sufficient to retain broken golf tees at any slope angle the golf cart is capable of traversing or at any nominal acceleration or deceleration the golf cart is capable of operating;a clip-on suspension assembly of attachment brackets that is composed of a resilient elastic material, wherein each attachment bracket has a lower portion shaped similar to a counterclockwise rotated block “U” that is sized to elastically fit over and under a portion of a golf cart's dashboard or another suitably shaped part of a golf cart or a similar vehicle, wherein the lower portion is contiguous with an upper portion shaped similar to a clockwise rotated block “L”, wherein a leg on the “L” is about horizontal and has one or more bracket fastener holes that are aligned with one or more fastener openings on the bottom of the collection container, when using rivets or binding fasteners, and the horizontal leg on the “L” extends rearward elevated over the golf cart's dashboard, wherein an angled section of the “L” functions as a cantilevered spring suspension support for the collection container; anda fastening means for attaching the top section of the bracket to the container using fastening elements. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the lower portion of the clip-on suspension assembly of attachment brackets secures the collection container to the dashboard or another suitably shaped part of a golf cart or a similar vehicle. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the clip-on suspension assembly of attachment brackets allows the apparatus, and in particular the collection container, to be removed from and re-attached to the dashboard or another suitably shaped part, therein enabling the collection container to be quickly emptied. 4. An apparatus embodiment according to claim 1, wherein the resilient shock resistant material of the collection container is ABS, which is a polymer comprised of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the resilient elastic material of the clip-on suspension assembly of attachment brackets is selected from a group consisting of but not limited to: fiberglass, graphite fiber, plastic, thermoset, elastomeric, metal or a combination thereof, which can be expanded to provide a clamping force to the lower portion of the attachment brackets, and the upper portion of the attachment brackets provides spring suspension support to the bottom of the collection container, and taken with the dampened flexibility of the bottom and inertia of the collection container, the apparatus provides a very smooth, quiet ride, with very little vibration. 6.
