Ours was 46pts in same conditions, 2 lads off 5 & 7.
2nd was 42pts and there were 5 pairs on that.

Teed up my ball with a wooden castle tee and got a bloody splinter in my thumb! That's the last time I use wooden tees, I'm plastic all the way from now on.

I'm going to be perhaps controversial here and I really hope this doesn't turn into a typical GM forums argument but I'm the opposite way, I'm very much anti plastic tee, so I'm going with them for today's irritation (rather than how poorly I'm playing at the moment and my rapid rise in handicap)

EDIT: In fact I'm pretty sure I know exactly how this discussion goes from having seen it on the forum before so let's just leave it there

Your irritation and that’s the name of the thread.
You can (as you did) disagree with someone and still be civil.

I use long wooden tees for driver and plastic for irons.

I get the best or worst of both choices.

I had nothing particularly against the wooden ones until one wounded me today! Now I shall hate them with a blind passion for the rest of my days. I do like to hold grudges against inanimate objects.

In fairness, it makes no difference, I'll never buy another pink castle tee in my life now anyway, every round I find two more of them than I lose. When I swapped into my new bag I literally removed about 20 of them.

I use plastic and wooden tees. Anything that I find. Never bought a tee peg in my very long golfing life.

My irritation is broken tee pegs left lying on the ground, whether wooden or plastic.

They are litter and should be picked up and disposed of by the person that broke them. There are no tee-peg fairies to do it.

I’ve just started using these purely by chance. When Mrs M got me the Seed balls they came with a bag of 100 mixed driver and iron length bamboo tees.

Had them in play the last 2 rounds and really rate them. Much harder wearing than normal wooden tees and don’t mark the clubs at all. I’m a convert and when I eventually need new tees I’ll be buying these ones again.
