Well spotted sir!

The tee markers are only very rarely at the back of the tee - and it is a very long tee front to back.

But surely they'd still be behind the player teeing off looking down the line and I think that we all agree that is not the done thing to do. Maybe next time you're there you should move the bench to the side of the tee facing a right handed player. But if the sun was setting ahead of the tee you might have to move it back. ;)

This has occurred to me - but it is fixed in position.

I'd rather somebody stands 10 yards behind the ball than 3 yards away face to face, but at the end of the day if you can't see them it doesn't matter! I might stand in a different place on every tee this weekend and see if I get asked to move wherever I stand. 18th tee on Sunday I might try standing with a foot either side of the ball as I imagine that will be the first time somebody has an issue with where I am

As long as you are standing sideways facing the player it should be ok. If you are standing looking down the fairway/down the line of the shot then there might be a problem.

I have been thunking about this and think there may be a business opportunity here. How about adjustable teeing off blinkers? Clip them on and they blank out anything outside your own preferred tee box comfort zone.

Here is a clip of a prototype I knocked together. What do you think ? :cool:

Could you add ear muffs to the design to block out noise as well?
