Tees - how much?!

[KenL]

Do people under 40 get a discount on tees at your club? Just wondering?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I haven't heard of plastic tees being banned on the course, only no longer sold in the pro shop.

Some have but there simply so many in existence I can't see how they can ever manage that successfully

You have to start somewhere. Bringing in bags for life, shops changing to paper bags has made a huge difference in reducing basic numbers of cheap plastic bags for example. Marginal gains..........

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Agreed but we all have a lot of plastic tees in the bag so even if every club introduced a ban on them there are so many in circulation it will take years for people to stop using what they have and it is impossible to police. It will happen in time but not my lifetime

Even so, might as well start the process!!

What do you suggest that people do with the plastic tees they own? They probably can't be recycled, landfill is not ideal so what is your solution?

Perhaps an amnesty at the pro shop?

Hand in your placcy tees with none of the stigma or fear of persecution (for being a planet killer) exchange 100 tees for a lucky dip into the Pro's bucket of 2nd hand balls

My dear fellow, what sort of club do you take us for. Pro's having 2nd hand balls!!!!

It doesn't make sense to stop using them really. As you say, alternative is the go in the bin or have to be recycled - but while they're still in use they're not polluting anything. And as sunshine proved, they could still be in use for another ten years.

Take them to the local recycling centre where they can be sorted?

At the very least we should stop making and selling plastic tees.

I would also stop selling painted wooden tees.

It may only be a small change, and I guess given the attitudes displayed on here most don’t think it will make a difference, but lots of small changes make a big difference.

Agree that we should stop selling them , but are we 100% sure they can be recycled?

No idea. But trying is better than leaving them in the ground.

Do you not tend to pick up your tee after you've used it?

 

[Oddsocks]

People that leave tees in the ground should be tied to the cross and stoned! Flicks my switch when you catch one on takeaway. Scumbuckets!

I found a big multi coloured plastic tee last year. Liked it so I bought a bag of 50 from Amazon.

I needn't have bothered. Still using the original when using the driver. That's pretty eco friendly, one tee, 18 months. Doesn't break, stays in the ground (mostly) and easy to find if it doesn't.

I do. I use orange length bamboo castle tees for my driver which are virtually indestructible. Anything else I use a broken one from the tee. Which I then put in the broken tee box.

But many people don’t.

 

[Robster59]

I know, right? I think it’s the ribbed design means it doesn’t fly out of the ground. It’s always waiting for me to pick it up.

As it's ribbed, do you get more pleasure from using it?

 

[Imurg]

I found one of the white 3 inch ones with the yellow stripe..Pro-Tee?
Anyway, it has a strip of gaffa tape around it and........a nail from the top to, probably, halfway down..
I'll try and fish it out and get a picture...it's a quality piece of work that must have cost way more than the tee did originally

What a work of art....
