Castle Tees Are For Winners....

I have used castle tees for over 30 years since I took up golf. I still do but as the driver heads have got bigger, so has the tee required. I used to think the white ones were way too high to hit a decent drive off but now they suit my current driver perfectly.

Castle tees are superb in my view with several advantages yet many on this forum seem to think they are objects of ridicule.

Castle tee detractors - please can you tell me why you think they are rubbish?

My favourite is the Pink. Quite like the red and lilac too. :thup: No embarrassment here.
 
I have been converted to the pink ones... driving very nicely now! i struggled with consistently getting the ball the same height, thats why they win for me!
 
Castle tee's are winners all day long, I rock the pink ones they sit perfect height for my driver. The small orange ones are spot on for a 3wood from the tee to.
 
At a Titleist demo day at our club the pro that was doing the fitting actually told the people that Pink castle was the perfect tee for driver. Personally I prefer wooden tees, don't know why though. Although I use red castles for par 3's.
 
Pink for driver, red for 3 wood, wooden for irons for me. Everyone I play with uses a castle tee, I wasnt aware anyone ridiculed them?
 
A lot of folk at my place seem to have their ball sitting pretty on pink for the driver these days. I tend to use wooden - stopped using castle tees yonks ago - no real reason - did they seem a bit naff? Dunno. But I do remember them first coming on the scene. Think I used yellows for my drives. I recall whites seeming to be stupidly high back then, and the reds just a wee bit too fiddly - never quite got the point of the blues.

I'm currently using the white ones. I was using the pinks for a while but am having some success with the whites so am sticking for now. Love the consistency you get with them.

A mate recently moved from Pink to White to try and straighten out his fade. I told him he should instead put his driver away for a bit - use his three wood off the tee. As he has a nice slow and steady swing I also told him to get his hands a bit faster through the strike - by thinking 'faster hands' - once he's got his three wood going pretty consistently straight then he might get driver back out of bag. Didn't think just a change from Pink to White would do it for him. And guess what - fewer balls currently being lost in the cr*p down RHS of holes - success so far.
 
Also, if you want to hit some glorious 3 woods, try the blue ones and set up to the ball like a driver.
 
I use the pink ones... They seem to be really popular. The only downside is that hey are not biodegradable, so when they do eventually break you gotta bin them and not jut leave them!
 
If you use castle tees, you'll need around 10 tees for a days golf.
1. high driver
2. medium driver
3. low driver
4. low 3 wood
5. high 3 wood
6. long irons/rescues
7. mid irons
8. short irons/chipper
9 and 10 to use on the drive home
 
I have used the silver ones for ages but now they have been replaced by the orange - if there is anything constant in my game at the moment it's that the ball is always the same height for my driver!

Ah - the leaving of broken tees all over the place - when is litter not litter? On par 3s we have started using the little cones for folk to chuck away broken tees. But god - aren't we a lazy lot - still tees smashed all over the place. Not a big deal at all - but so easy to just be tidy (same whinge from me about fag ends chucked all over the course - but that's another topic) . Mind you all these nice long broken wooden tees I can pick up and whittle to tidy up into short wooden tees for par 3s. Every penny counts :-)
