Golf tees?

[Canucklehead]

I used to by bulk bags of the wooden tees but the I tried Wedge Tees. I lose them before they can break (one normally last me about 3/4 to the whole season). They clean your grooves out and fix ball marks so no need for another tool in my pocket. For the par 3s I still use wooden tees or find one laying around the box. I don't tee it up very much with my irons so doesn't need to be too long. I've personally never seen a pro with their face on a bag of tees.

Used a few. Had my friend try one. It was bright orange. We never found it. Tee box was open. I walked a 10 yard diameter. Nothing.

any tee can get away on you. I have had a few buddy's help me look quick and usually find them.

Half of the time I don't  think about picking my tee up! My buddies always harp at me for leaving my tee in the ground. To me, a tee is just a tee.... I really don't care about it. They are cheap and plentiful. Now, if I could only think about golf balls the same way.......................

Well I'm glad I'm not the only guy happy to use a colorful Martini tee! I'd gotten a pack of pink for my wife and borrowed one on one of those days I just couldn't get the stoopit ball balanced (the eyes are going, the hands are not that shaky .. yet....).

 

Also glad I'm not the only one that scavenges for broken tees on Par 3s or other non-driver holes.

 

On MattF's recommendation, I bought a few FlexHeads to try out; have not played them yet. Hoping the three prong top can help me balance the ball more easily and quickly.

 

Other than that I also prefer the.plain wooden, not painted, tees; shorter (1 1/2" I think).

 

And I do pick up my tee after hitting as a part of keeping the course clean :-)

My wife loves the Martinin tee; been playing them a few years after a recommendation from a lady pro.  I have never seen her break one.  She does lose them occasionally and gives them to playing partners to try.

 

Since I don't use wooden tees, I can't just break one for a par 3.  I was always scavenging for broken tees when it occurred to me, hell I know the next hole is a par 3, so I started picking up a broken tee on the par 4 hole before it.  Lots of them there.  So I'm helping to clean up the tees on the par 4, and then the next guy on the par 3 won't have to look as hard.

I purchased a group of Firecracker Tees several years ago and only used them with my driver. They are like a zero friction tee on Steroids! After using the up, by losing them, I am using wood 3 1/2" tees. I have so many tees, that I am honestly trying to use them up.....not happening, because I just can't pass up a tee on the ground...

I just use whatever I find laying around or the ones the pro shop keeps available in a bowl. I like Stinger tees for some reason when I find them. Once I bought a 500 ct. box of Stingers. But I made a mistake. When I was ordering; the website (at that time anyway) said, "do not order the Stinger Pro model unless you have a steady hand". So what do I do? Order the Pro model. Which has a head the size of a pencil eraser if that. Needless to say I donated the entire box to a local HS golf team. Those guys have steady hands. Old guys do not.

I like the competition Stinger tees. Drives my playing partners nuts watching me take 45 seconds every hole to tee the ball

LOL I like playing behind guys like you!! Like I need more tees but if it is there I will pick it up

[DawgDaddy]

I have been playing Epoch tees for a long time, about 6 years now.  They rarely break, one pack would probably last the reast of my life if I did not lose them occasionally.  

 

I use a broken tee for par 3s and hitting hybrids or fairway woods when teeing off.   I probably have over a thousand wooden tees here at the house as I still can't just leave them laying on the ground either when I spot them.  

[Fireinthehole]

I've been spoiled since our club offers free tees 3 1/4" and 2 3/4" and i grab a handful whenever i go. I got a set of the "4 more yard" tees and they weren't too bad, no added sound from the tee and felt like hitting nothing but the ball. I think Mygolfspy did a test with them a few years back and the claim was somewhat verified. Most of the time I lost most of them, i think I broke one that i must've used for 3 months straight.

I'm like Big Stu, always picking one up. I have more tees than Carter has liver pills!

LOL I bet the young folks on here have not heard that saying  

[PlaidJacket]

I know one thing.... I'm getting some +15.7 Yards Longer tees before I play with Kenny in April.  I need to show this MGS Lab report to a friend that will only play Stingers. Hmmm?...on second thought.

[PlaidJacket]

Two things....

First and after this past weekend I've come to the conclusion that giving away (at least at my course) free tees is doing nothing but creating litter on the tee boxes and range. The damn things are everywhere! I'm going to ask that they stop. The tees my course gives away are plastic. Although I'm told they are biodegradable? Although, I've never seen one in any state of decomposition.

 

Second... I don't normally buy golf tees. (read above) But, I decided over the weekend to buy a 2-pak of the 4-yards More 15.7-yards More tees. Also, I don't usually buy into golf hype. But this time I have. I know my driver distance quite well. So after I get these things I'll report back with my findings. I defiantly won't be leaving one on the tee box.

 

(in 2011 MGS said they'd revisit this golf tee/distance experiment in the near future. Perhaps 2017?)

I know I didn't get 15.7 yards more, and maybe not even 4, but I do not have to routinely empty my bag of tees anymore.  I see a tee on the ground, I leave it for the next person!  I have only broken these tees once or twice, but I have seen a couple of broken ones on the tee box.  

 

What color did you get?  I use the blue ones most of the time; yellow if a head wind.

[PlaidJacket]

I'm crushed. I was banking on 15.7 or 15.8 more yards. That's what MGS said. LOL Combine that with the Ksigs and I'd have 21 more total yards.

I purchased the 2.75" yellow ones.

I never use a tee of wood.Basically use compacted mud to look like a tee.Its environmentally friendly as well.

 

I have enough golf tricks as Carter had mistresses

[PlaidJacket]

I'd like to see a pic of your driver setup using compacted mud for a tee.

Lady Davies used to do this to keep the ball low off the tee, she would make sort of a divot with the club and then set the ball on top. Look it up on you tube to see how she did it.

Still does this. I was the walking scorer for her group last year and she used a grass tee on every hole.

Yeah - I'd heard about that old school trick. As someone mentioned, popular on windy days.

[Lonnie96]

you don't need high tech equipment to hit a golf ball.All you need is proper swing fundamentals to advance that ball.

[PlaidJacket]

Lot's of truth in that.

I'll assume you're still playing persimmon woods. ?

Ok guys.... go ahead and have your laugh. Get it out of your system. I bought some 4-Yards More tees. Yes, I actually paid money for them. So, tomorrow I'm going to be driving the ball 15.7 yards farther than normal. https://www.mygolfspy.com/mygolfspy-labs-golf-tee-wars/ Probably be hitting driver - wedge all day. As discussed before I'll pair the Tee with a Ksig so who knows... I might even drive a few greens.

Kenny said the 4-Yards More tee is all he uses anymore. Said he's been killing it in the 210-215 range. Guess there's something to it.

I'll report back in this space tomorrow after my round.

And when I use them, I look at that other tee on the ground and just walk away, so my bag stays light.

[PlaidJacket]

So, how many more yards did I gain today?

15.7 more yards? Nope. 12 more? Didn't happen. 8 more? Guess again. 4-Yards More??? Neh...

 

Well, for me today my distance was about average with the 4-Yards More tee. Definitely not longer by any stretch. My best and longest drives in today's round were just like other rounds using a plain old white 2.75" tee. You know, the free kind. After the 5th hole the pic below is what happened to my 4-Yards More tee. After that I played a regular tee the remainder of my round. Kenny if you'd like some more 4-Mores let me know and I'll bring them to White Bluff in April.

I have about 9 tees left; mostly blue but a few yellow.  I have only broken a couple, and lost a few in the 4 years I have been playing them.  I should have enough for several more years.
