#' Golf tee data
#'
#' The data are from independent surveys by eight observers of a population of 250
#' groups (760 individuals) of golf tees.  The tees, of two colours, were placed 
#' in groups of between 1 and 8 in a survey region of 1680 m^2^, either exposed 
#' above the surrounding grass, or at least partially hidden by it.  They were 
#' surveyed by the 1999 statistics honours class at the Univ of St Andrews.
#' 
#' We treat each group of golf tees as a single animal with size equal to the 
#' number of tees in the group; yellow tees are male, green are female; tees 
#' exposed above the surrounding grass are classified as exposed, others as 
#' unexposed.  We are grateful to Miguel Bernal for making these data available; 
#' they were collected by him as part of a masters project.
