Buying Golf tees for the first time 0.o

When i started golf a few months ago I was given a bag of assorted tees that are wood. Should I be buying wood tees or plastic? Which kind of tee doesn't lease marks on the sole/face of driver.

Suggestions? Preferences?

I got a bag of martini tees in June. Since then I have emptied my tee bag twice.

I pick up abandoned tees and have amassed quite the collection.

Wood, plastic, nylon, who really cares?

Martini tee for driver, whatever I pull out for other tee shots.

I will probably never buy tees again.

Not a big deal either way. I used plastic tees for a while because they last a lot longer, but when it's cold they're harder to get in the ground and I just got annoyed by that because I'm easily annoyed.

Tees are tees.

Buy the natural colored wooden tees and consider them a cheap consumable. I read a post recently where someone said it's rare to see the pro's use anything but a basic tee.

As long as the tee is long enough to allow you to tee it up as high as you like, any tee will do. I kinda like the fact that painted wooden tees leave streaks on the sole of the driver. Reminds me of my clubhead path.

Get a martini for driver. Find broken tees for par 3s

+1 Martini tees for driver. Used same one all year.

I use any tee there is........as long as it isn't plastic and its either red, white or black.

There is a local construction/engineering firm where I live and they're always at the fundraiser scrambles I play. They don't care so I grab handfuls of tees with their logo. I'm almost out. Every once in a while, I drive by their office and think I should go in and ask for some. It just seems so pathetic so I dont.

I had a gift card to a golf shop and bought some stuff there. Had a small amount left on the card and bought a bag of the Epoch tees. I think that was 5 or 6 years ago...maybe longer. I still have probably 1/2 of that bag left. They do not break easily and seem to last forever.
If I am messing around with my swing, I like the white wooden tees. They leave a mark on the sole of my driver so I get a good idea how the club head is traveling when I make contact by looking at the tee marks.

What makes the Martini tees so good off the driver? I found one the other day and used it on a couple irons, quite liked it.

Love the Martini Tees, easy to place the ball on, they come in bright colors so easily retrieved, very hard to break. A bag of 5 can easily last you a year, or more.

I like the unpainted wood tees because they don't leave any marks on the clubs. A few years ago I bought a short rubber driving range tee. It has an insert where I can put a tee for driver or no tee if I'm hitting three wood or hybrid. Works great in cold weather.

I like wooden natural colored tees. Just personal preference. No science behind it. And I just bought 1000 3&1/4" tees for $12. Should last me a bit.

I haven't tried the Martini Tees -- interesting.

I usually go with ZF tees - Zero Friction.

I love to support the Original Rainbow Tee. Custom tees which don't break the bank, and support two sisters who are trying to start a small business before they graduate college.

I can't believe the responses in this thread. The OP took the time to ask a legitimate question and no one bothers to give him the inside scoop?

Older, traditional clubs and courses, will expect you to use nothing but natural colored wood tees, no longer than 2 3/4" in height.

Most resort courses, will expect you use Brush Tees or Martini Tees, color not important.

Low down public courses require white, extra tall tees, preferably at least 3" or more in height (having the "blue insertion guide" is acceptable.

If you play at a noveau private or semi-private track, colored wood tees of most any length are acceptable.

If you're playing a Donald Ross design, that's maintained it's prestige and traditions through the years, no tees should be used on Par 3's, just whack the ground with your iron and kick up a little dirt perch for your ball.

All the above, also depends on your equipment, of course.

If you use a low spin, low launching driver and are required to use a wooden tee, make sure you "clip off" the front of the "tee cup", so it doesn't divert your ball on launch. You can use a nail clipper or a small penknife, you keep in your golf bag. Also, the old wooden tees should be [b]angled toward your desired flight direction [/b]to neutralize dispersion from the tee.

Remember, multi-colored tees should never be the fluorescent models, unless you playing in a twilight league. (BTW, if you do play in an after-work league, your tees should have advertising on them.)

I hope this helps.

Best response ever.

Martini tees. Accept no substitutes.

Huge fan of Stinger Tees. The super small ones. Good for all kinda shots.

4 More Yards. I bought a four pack two years ago, one broke, one is in the barn, and two I use every time I play. Hundreds of rounds. And, paired with the latest driver from anyone, they actually add about 40 yards!

I play Zero Friction but try them all till you find one you like.

I've been using the same Four Yards More tee for my driver since March. Absolutely love it.
I don't buy in to the extra distance claims, but it's durable as heck and gives a consistent tee height.

Wooden tees. Cheap large bag or free from some nicer courses. I already have to worry about my divot tool, ball mark, scorecard, pencil, and glove in my pockets, don't want have to worry about dropping some expensive plastic tees too.
