Tees (plastic/wooden)

[theeaglehunter]

I use wooden tees ones with a blue stripe to make sure you tee it at the correct height each time, like Tony mentioned earlier, for the Driver. And then any broken tee or smaller wooden tee for the appropriate iron shots, althoguh I quite often don't bother with a tee peg for par 3s where I use either an iron or my hybrid. Have a brilliant little plastic red tee at the moment though for my 5 wood which is an absolutely perfect height and seems to help with consistency.

I also use the wooden tees with the blue stripe for my driver and with the red stripe for everying else. Break one almost every time though.

Tried lift tees but also found I was breaking the crown off them on a lot of drives so gave up on them.

Never really tried castle tees and now unlikely to as have found something that suits me.

i think it's better to switch to using plastic ones if you break the wooden one on every hole. it will really save you a couple of bucks.

At 1.78 PENCE per tee, I'll live with it

Wood for me, was snapping them at a rate of one per hole, so got 500 of e-bay for £4. but now after a few lessons, one tee lasted 34 holes, so at that rate, my buy of e-bay should last me 17000 more tee shots !!!

Not tried the pink ones, but use plastic castle type for driver (need the consistency in height) but wood tees for everything else.

Like the brush tees but find they break (and are therefore expensive).

LOL @ all the tightarses complaining about the cost of breaking wooden tees. And they stereotype Scots as tight! What are you going to break, 5 in a bad round? Guess that 20p must really hurt eh?

BTW, I read plastic tees can damage your clubs. Dunno how true that is?

Wooden tees for me.The long ones for the driver, and the remmants of the large tees broken with the driver for tee shots on the par 3's.

Nice bit of recycling.

Strictly speaking, it's probably true....since I place them lightly in the tee ground, and they create no resistance at all to my thunderous swing speed, I'm not losing sleep!!

Rock hard tees in the summer, tees knocked in with a portable hammer....yup, could be a worry for thin driver faces.

i've only been playing golf for a few months and initially wondered what the difference between tee's was. a friend of mine pointed out the obvious by saying wooden are environmentally friendly. given this, i assume the paint on them is biodegradable? is this the case?

White wooden for me too,got a real superstition and wont use anything else.

started with castle tees, different ones for different clubs then switched to wooden (long, white, blue stripe). break a few but so what, I just think I'm hitting cleaner - could be wrong of course! to be really enviro they should be unpainted but then we wouldn't find them.

I bought 200 wooden tees from "Lees Tees" start of last summer and still have plenty of them - only break 2/3 per round (and I use them on par 3's with irons).

Much better than the cheap imports where they break easily every hole.

 

[GB72]

I am far happier with cheap tees that I can lose or break. Nothing more annoying than a partner who spends as long looking for his lost brush or lift tee as he does looking for a ball.

 

[viscount17]

The only thing is, they are probably all imports
