On a serious note, I was told many years ago that plastic tees were bad for your clubs. I was told that with wooden tees, upon impact, the wooden tee will snap/splinter whereas the plastic tee won't. Seeing as the plastic tee doesn't break, it's your club that takes the impact and can be left with lots of little dents in the club face.

I'm happy to be corrected though.

Until I get properly fitted for the right shaft, which will be xstiff with my swingspeed!

But to your point on pink castle tees... if they work for you, then great. Just don't expect anyone else to admit that or not mercifully rip you apart for using them. :) Looking forward to seeing the rainbow of colours soon, mate!

Be happy then.

Hitting a ball at 100mph (or maybe 90) is going to do a lot more 'damage'. The outer casing (Surilyn) is plastic and a ball weighs a lot more than a tee.

Might be less bad for the environment, though probably very little in it.

I use Pink tees if I am hitting downwind but white otherwise. You can get Voilet ones that are the same height as Pink ones. Pink and White ones are very easy to find which is an added incentive.
 
I have some fluoresent 'ORANGE' castle tees. They are the same length as the grey ones but almost impossible to lose. I have used the same one for 6 months now.
 
I played with a mutual riemd amd his dad last year down at Bognor Regis Golf Club, a slighyl elder average age of memeber there...

Anyway they loved the castle tees and actually tied string to them and attached a 2nd tee which was also pushed into the ground, so if tee with ball on flew off it stayed neaby due to afore-mentioned string.

So Baz, you need to get yourself a nice bit of orange string and you are there !!
 
No shame in pink castle tees... it's those rubber things tied together with string that you need to worry about!

Personally I think pink castles speed up play... less faffing on the tee box or tee hunting afterwards :thup:


I'm proud to admit I invested in my first PINK JUMPER today... and it's a BEAUTY!

Pink and proud! :whoo:
 
All invites to my place are off OS.:ears: Those of a more traditional nature prefer wood.;)

Plastic tees did used to damage persimmon drivers. They marked the insert, but think you might be all right with that lump of metal you are wielding.:whistle:
