what tee do you guys use with a 3 wood

[sydney greenstreet]

I am like others on here I look around for a broken tee and have it hovering off the ground like a perfect lie.

Where was the ridicule?

I'd suggest that the post before mine was more aimed at ridicule. Then again its probably easier to focus on the new members opinion than pick on someone with over 7500 posts.

I will stand by my post, if you are standing worrying about tee height your not fully with the shot. That in turn will lead to a negative swing. There is no such thing as a perfect tee height.

Asking someone if their post asking for advice is "for real" can be classed as ridiculing it.
It's your opinion that worrying about the tee will mean you are not focussed on the shot. It's your opinion that the OP is barking up the wrong tree. It's your opinon that there is no perfect tee hight.

You are perfectly entitled to that opinion, imposing it as fact is another matter.

I regularlu play with someone that is a member of the Seniors Tour and he is as meticulous about the height of the tee that he uses as any person I have met. Are you telling me that he isn't focussed on the shot just because he has focussed on a part of the shot pre routine?
In fact, ensuring that the tee is a comfortable height for you before hand gives you less to worry about when taking the shot. Again, just the humble opinion of a 12 HC player that has never once thought about the height of the tee once I start swining.

Absolutely not, just pointing out to the poster that he's barking up the wrong tree. Sometimes people can't see the wood for the trees.

The mind is indeed a wonderful thing if your happy in the knowledge that your tee height is consistent. One factor taken care of!

I covered this already, if he has a castle tee that he has worked out is best for him prior to the round.. ie now! then he has nothing to think about tee wise and can focus on his target..... I also think Greig covered the point of the guy asking at this venue...

How meticulous is this person? Do they measure it to ensure its perfect height every time? Do they take into consideration that the teeing area may not be totally flat? Do they take into consideration the height of the grass? If not I suggest like everyone else they stick the tee in to a level that they are comfortable with then get on with whatever pre shot routine or swing process/thought process they are comfortable in.

The OP is a 17 handicap golfer not a novice, to get to 17 they must have some ability so why now ask about tee height. There is no optimal or correct answer.

Like most he will look for as flat a surface as possible, for his woods the tee will be pressed in until his thumb and forefinger are tight against the grass and the base of the tee. He is a professional golfer, I wouold not even begin to question his method or tell him just to stick it in to a level bit.

No, there is no optimal or correct answer, but as I pointed out somtime, just sometimes, people come on to as what some may feel a mundane question but it's to find other methods or options for performing a task. That is the beauty of the forum, most people feel they can come on and ask a question and get responses that produce options other than just a singular "this is how you do it".
Even at 17 handicap a person could be a 17 because they struggle with a specific aspect. Take this example, the OP may strucggle with the 3w (not saying he does, just an example) and is looking for opinions or input as to how other do things diffrently. They can then try these things and find out if they work or not. Self analytics aided by the input from others, some people just like to do it that way. I'm certainly not going to tell them they are wrong.

Where did I tell them they're wrong?

Probably around about there. Can't imagine that being construed that you are saying he is correct.

I was actually pointing out you were barking up the wrong tree! Not the OP.

You took the time to come on and have a go about my post and pointing out its a "community" yet you want to constantly dig my views on how much the game is actually a mental thing.

Not at all, I think you may find on another thread I did actually agree that the mental side of the game is important. what I did caveat that with was that understanding where it goes wrong is also important in my opinion.

as for community, my point was about people asking questions if they feel the need to or that they will gain from it.
Please do keep up.

And in the spirit of the forum, that is my last word.
I apologise to the OP for taking the thread off topic.
