opening tee

Show this voucher at the counter and get an opening tee

Looks like it is a T-shirt. But what does 'opening' stand for here?

same thought with Ambrose, and then Charles
Charles Davis Sep 27, 2011:
It's a pun It's as people have already said: "tee" is common now for "T shirt" and "opening" can mean "inauguration", so it's a promotional gift to mark and celebrate an opening. But "opening tee" can also mean the first tee on a golf course and therefore conveys the idea of getting off to a vigorous start, hitting a long drive off the opening tee.

Hi Valery, I think that the allegory is that the idea of a "Tee-off" is being used to promote the store's inauguration; the 'opening' of the store.

This is for a promo campaign in a clothes store. I saw quite a few of 'opening tees' here: http://tinyurl.com/5syvl4d

I had the same reaction as Ambrose, but if the T-shirts aren't being distributed at a golf tournament they could be promotional items for the opening of a store, other business, or any other event.

Could it be one that opens along the shoulder, back or front to make it easier to get over the head, like this? http://shop.bestseller.com/name-it/light-tops/MINIOPENINGTEE...
Ambrose Li Sep 27, 2011:
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw “opening tee” was golf. Would that make any sense here?

Valery Is this some kind of event? opening could refer to the inaguration of the event, maybe?

"Tee-off"

Sounds like a reference to the "Tee-off" in golf .
