Simply playing golf on Wednesday and then feeling a sudden stiffness in my knee. Which then came and went for the remaining 34 holes (I was playing Suningdale, so no way quitting!).
It is now fairly swollen and I can't fully bend it, so no golf this weekend and no fitting at Precision Golf Tuesday either!
Dammit!!!!

I just hope for your sake that it doesn't turn out like mine did at the end of March!

I noticed that some manufacturers make the tees using polystyrene (as in Airfix kits and similar) the better makers use polypropylene, these are the ones that do not break.
However I thought there was a tendency to move away from plastic and use wooden tees , some clubs now ban plastic tees.

Do they check your bag and pockets before you tee off?

Stuck behind a 4 ball today who were painfully slow, all of them doing that line on the ball thing and taking an age over every shot. Even the smallest of putts they would mark their balls, re align the ball, check the line, multiple practice strokes then knock in the 12 incher 
I won’t even mention their pre swing routines
I’m not sure what it is with the new breed of golfers, it’s like they’ve watched pro golf too much and taken all pre swing and putt alignment far too seriously.
I appreciate every shot counts but please hurry up

I suspect it is more than many clubs now now longer sell plastic tees, banning their sale in the club shop, rather than actually banning them on the course. That is certainly the case in some clubs up here now.
I might be wrong about banning them on the actual course, I haven't heard of that one so far.

I believe Royal North Devon banned plastic tees a couple of years ago....

We went to princes 2 years ago
They had banned plastic tees
So I purchased bamboo tees online and have used since
Few in the societies attuide was "they can't see me past the club house"
Shame people couldn't respect the course more

RND no longer allow them
Plastic tee ban becomes popular
More and more golf courses are selling sustainable tees to golfers. Bamboo is very popular here, as are unbreakable tees.

Looks like a few more joined them

I'm using bamboo tees at the moment but, when the ground hardens up, I do find them more difficult to push in.
Are wooden tees covered in paint more eco-friendly than plastic?
I must look for some longer bamboo tees for my next visit to South Africa - I find 69mm tees are not long enough in the kikuyu grass.

There are all kinds of different paint out there. Will be eco friendly
It's more the fact they are biodegradable where as plastic never will break down
I don't think the castle bamboos difficult to get in the ground, but then that's why I have always used castles. Easy to get into the ground all year round

My first ever round of golf was in Turkey on an American Military base,Incirlik, in 1992. They had a plastic tee ban then.
