  1. 1. Which hand do you tee the ball up with?

    • I'm a right-handed player and tee the ball with my right hand
      18
    • I'm a right-handed player and tee the ball with my left hand
      1
    • I'm a left-handed player and tee the ball with my left hand
      0
    • I'm a left handed player and tee the ball with my right hand
      0

This is a totally superfluous question that I'd never given one second of thought to until 10 minutes ago. I flipped on the Australian PGA Championship on Golf Channel and immediately heard Ian Baker-Finch mention that it's odd that Scott Strange tees up the ball with his gloved hand. It took me all of about 5 seconds to conclude that I've teed up every golf ball I've ever swatted with my gloved hand.

I have no idea why that's the case for me – it just feels natural, I guess. I'd probably lose my balance and fall over if I tried to do it with my right hand.

How about you folks? Are you same-handed on the teeing ground or do you flip-flop it?

I think you may have omitted one option..Right or left handed player that tee's with either hand.. ;-)

I didn't vote, cuz I'm a righty, and tee it up with either hand. I keep 2 balls in my right pocket, my tee's in my left pocket. If I take a tee out first, then a ball I usually tee it with my right, if I reverse that order, I'll use my left.. :-D

Right hand. Left hand is holding the club.

Right hand. I lean down holding the club in my left hand for support, and tee up with my right hand. Tees and golf balls are stored in my right pocket.

Righty here, tee up with right hand. Warning: totally selfish and useless brag here ... At the range with mats and rubber tees, I tee up with my driver and foot without bending over.

I do both left and right hand. More right than left.  Depends on if my left knee is sore.  If it is, then I use the club as a cane in my right hand and tee it with my left.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
