    BTW "anti-slice" tees that have a plastic shield behind the ball so the driver can't impart side spin on the ball are not legal for play.

    Why didn't you vote yet VE?
    Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

    LOL
    I know they are not 'allowed' to be used, but there are some casual golfers I have played with that have used them in the past either as Father's Day gifts or just to try them out. I clicked on my choice.....I use the longer ones, find it easier to set up for my over sized driver. I keep a few stubby ones in the bag too for par 3's

    It would be nice if manufacturers would not market products that promote / enable cheating. There are people buy that junk thinking it must be OK or it wouldn't be on the market.

    Can I vote 3 times? lol.

    I usually have 5 or 6 tees in my pocket at a time. A few 3" white tees for when I hit driver, a couple 2'' tees when using a 3-wood or long iron, and I use broken tees on Par 3's.
    Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

    plain old wooden tees. colour is not important, whatever I grab out of my bag.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    Same. I will hit off any tee as long as it isn't too short. I don't think a tee will help my game
    Just another lefty....

    I like the Eco tees that you can find at most Clublink courses. I actually researched the company to see if I could buy a bunch of them for myself, but you need to order them in lots of 1000. Since I use the same tee for 3-4 rounds that would last me a lifetime.

    They're $35 for 1000, so I just need to find 50 of my closest friends to split a box

    I like the short brush t's. The tall ones are too high for my swing.

    love the wedge tees
    Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing, ... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...

    Hmmm, bamboo....have not seen those, might have to check them out if they can take a shot or two more than traditional wood ones.

    for anyone else considering buying these tees, you can buy 250 of them on ebay for $25. it would cost you double that at GT. i bought my tees from the ebay member: 1golfing_nut

    As a member of CL I just grab what I need from the starter. They have plastic ones that are apparently easier on the equipment and "don't break". I would have to argue that they don't break, because I have certainly broken a few in my day.

    Why on earth would anyone ever need 250 Zero Friction tees?

    I bought 50 of them at the beginning of last year, and after 60+ rounds I still have about 45 left!

    I use broken tees for par 3's - including a broken ZF tee that will probably last forever now...

    use the orange ZeroFriction tees myself, I went through 1 package all of last year and that includes giving them to buddies when they need. Not the greatest for the 1st tee in a tourney if the hands are a little shaky, but outside of that...

    Can't think of the last time I bought tees, probably 15 years ago? I live off what the land provides for me.

    Use the plastic 'Blade' tees for driver and whatever broken tee is around for par three's. (if any)

    The blade will go into any earth no matter how hard, even if you have to hammer it. I bought a pack of three (or five) last year and am still using the first.

    Where can you get these, GolfTown? I wish I had them handy today at Canadian. I, for the life of me, could not get a tee into the ground further than half an inch on the 10th hole. That tee box was made out of cement!
