Tee's...

[Parmo]

I have just been looking at my usual buy every so often and that is tees. Last time I bought a bag of 500 for £7 something and they where covered in logos and different colours, they where ok but most of them where very brittle and few lasted more than one blast from the Cobra.

I have tried the lift ones and they seemed ok but did a little too much lifting with the driver and I lost some control so I went back to the one shot wonders, also the lift tees seemed to travel about 20 yards after being hit, and with being not the cheapest tee out there was a nightmare looking for them only to find them half way down the fairway.

What do you guys spend on tees and is there a specific type you go for i.e. plain white or brush or crown? Is there a cash limit you set yourself on them? and does colour matter?

I have a bag of 1000 large white wooden tees that I got as a birthday pressie 3 years ago and I still have plenty left in the bag but that may have something to do with my new obsession of castle tees which I find are the perfect height for my driver hence I aint using many more than 2 wooden tees a round now.Castles cost me £1 for 50 in my pro shop,I don't really understand that price cos to me that is really cheap and he is a thieving bastard in all other things he sells in the shop!!

 

[Parmo]

lol are castle tees and lift tees the same thing? I apologise for my noobness in golf terms

 

[Dodger]

Lift tees?? Dunno,they just look like a castlely sort of thingamijig!!! Ha ha,maybe it is just me and my mates who have christened them 'castle'.....!

Its wood all the way with me. Got 1000 on the internet for about £5. Not even made a dent in them yet

Started with multi coloured plastic, now moved onto big wooden ones that I snap for iron shots.

Long wooden tees that I buy in Tesco when I am doing the week's shopping. Tried lift tees but found the same problem that I either snapped to prongs off the top or ended up looking for the tee 20 yards down the hole. I used to use the wooden tees with the coloured markings on them (red, yellow, blue and green) to get some consistency as to height but can do it by sight and feel now. Try to buy shorter wooden tees for anything less than a driver but also happy to use broken long tees.

Why snap them? just push em all the way in, or use the already broken ones on the mat!

Have a variety of lenghted wooden tees, have found them especially usefull playing off winter tees where the height is difficult to adjust with just a long tee. For iron shots i tee it really low and tend to use plastic tees. I buy the cheapest i can find as i snap em all even the plastic ones on my tee shots.

Long wood. Got a bag of 500 from fleabay last year for a couple of quid. Use broken ones for iron shots.

 

[HTL]

It makes me feel more of a man! lol

I had been playing on tempory tees for a while and it developed into a pre shot habit.

Castle tee's are those that are set to a specific height. You get them at different heights for different clubs.

Lift tee's are those where the ball is supported by a few spikes. The Brush tee has a similar effect to this. It allows you to sweep the ball away unlike standard tee's where the ball is nestled (apparantly).

You do also get castle lift tee's.

I had been using the lift tee's but like you say, trying to find them can be a royal pain, lost a whole packet in a round, not worth it. Am back to buying wooden tee's in bulk.

 

[USER1999]

The usual white wooden ones, bought in big bags. Use broken ones for iron or three wood shots.

I don't break that many, I just nick bits out of the top, until the ball won't stay on it any more.

If you are breaking them, you are not hitting up at the ball, but hitting down. Not good.

If you go to Direct Golf you can buy a lift tee which is one long one(for drivers) with a length of cord that is conected to a small one for irons and the like.The good bit is which ever one your not using you put this into the ground to stop the other one flying off they are about £1.50 and used my last one for 6 months.

I dont think it make's any difference what tee we use. Lift castle brush etc etc, this is just another way for the compaines to get money from us. I like useing long whit wooden tee's as when they break I can still use them on the par 3's or for my fairway wood's. Murph is right if your breaking them your not hitting it right.

Nice idea but if I was your playing partner I would be looking to choke the dear life out of you buy the 10th hole.

Use wooden tee as they are carbon neutral and they decompose over time

 

[Parmo]

Do you use 70mm ones? I have seen the 80+mm and thought they are far to long, am I correct in thinking that 80+mm is to high for a driver?

 

[madandra]

The 70mm tee is sufficient for any club. 80mm are just fence posts.
