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 :-)

Suits me, all the tees I ever need are left lying on the ground, dont hit too many drivers and everything else works fine off a broken tee :)
 
Depends what I have in the bag or get for xmas. Having said that I do prefer castle tee's as its one less thing I have to worry about.
 
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?

it's subjective. my old man uses them. He plays off 28, hits a drive and then spends the next 2 mins looking for his tee!! Also it bothers him when he breaks one. He also has a ball retriver & a thing on his bag to count his shots. I can't help but associate all these things together.

You surprise me Snelly, I had you down as a white wooden tee/broken pick up man. First Castle tees, then new irons, where will it stop

I am a traditional white wooden tee man, plastic much too modern for me.

In the olden days, plastice tees used to mark the inserts on wooden drivers.

Don't use myself, but once found a pink castle with a wooden spike. Someone with enough time on their hands to drill out a broken castle tee to accommodate the broken lower end of a wooden tee!!
 
wooden tee with yellow markings (other colours available) set my height purrfectly for my driver don't normally use a tee on par 3's unless really bad divots then just find someones broken one,castle tees are for newbies in my opinion.
 
i use a mix between my driver and 3 wood of the tee
3 wood i barely tee up at all and the driver isn't that high probably equivalent to a yellow castle
my home club is also a links, so i vary the tee height depending on wind direction

haven't go anything against castles i just prefer the versatility of non castles
 
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

Pink, Blue and Orange. I make that 3. :)

I only use one for my driver and then busted tees for everything else. I'm not fussy though. Any tee will do for me.

As for the new irons, jury is out. I have played one round with them and it wasn't great to be honest. Am playing Goodwood on Friday so will give them another chance. If they don't work, stand by for a barrage of "anti-mizuno / blades make the game more difficult posts!"!
