Types of Golf Tees
November 20, 2011One can hardly imaging what it would be like to drive off the first hole without a tee. 
What could you use to levitate your ball…well…in the olden days they used a little heap of sand but Golf has really developed since those times. In fact, the introduction of the Golf tee was the last major change to the rules of the game.
For those unacquainted with the game, the tee looks like a little spike with a small cup on top in which the ball sits and it raises the ball off the ground thus giving the player a better opportunity of hitting the ball. The tee is normally used for the first shot of each hole and its purpose is to allow the ball to gain extra distance and height.
Golf tees have taken on many shapes and forms since their invention in the 1800′s but today they come in two basic formats which are wooden and plastic. Though the head may vary the height is a standard 21/8 inches but Golf rules say that it is illagel for a too to be greater than 4 inches.
The eco friendly player is well advised to use either biodegradable plastic or wood in order to protect the enviornment. Since tees are hit hard it is well advisable to have a good supply on hand as they often get lost when they fly with the ball or get broken upon impact. Tees are also a good substitute for removing divots on the green or repairing plug marks on the fairway.
