We've previously written about how tee height can affect shotmaking, but what's the standard position for a teed ball?

The general rule of thumb for woods and metals these days is this: tee the ball up so that, when your club rests lightly on the ground, ½ of the ball is above the topline of the club. The image to the right, courtesy of Perry Andrisen's site, is a touch above that but will encourage an upswing with the driver.

Here's another image showing the heights of the tee for a driver, a 5-metal, and an 11-metal (which is similar to that of an iron), courtesy of Golf for Women:
