A Public Service Announcement from the Wooden Tee Manufacturers Assoc.

When it gets cold in the Frigid Mitten, it can be hard to tee up a ball.

You hit that thing like ten times and barely got it in the ground. 🙂

Just carry a little self-tapping drill bit thingy on the end of a handle if the ground is that hard. Or a rubber tee. 🙂

I use one of these... carrying a hammer in the bag just adds weight.  I also have a sawed off tee for par 3's.  Yes, the ground can freeze in WA state.

Oh, and these tees can add 1.5 inches to your drives because of the lack of ground resistance.

If that is a dig to that ridiculous bogus report we saw recently, it is a well struck shot.

You are very observant.  A 67 for you on the first day of Spring and $1000 too!

I may get some of those. We’re looking to get below 50 degrees for a few days here....

[Double Mocha Man]

Below 50 degrees?!  You may need a jackhammer to get your tee into the ground.

It’s not always easy to tough it out during Florida winter golf.

Might need this for the opposite problem.  WA has the atmospheric river finishing off today and we are playing our Frostbite 4 person scramble today.  A wooden tee would just sink if put in the ground.  We need flotation devices for the tees and kayaks to get to our ball.  Greens should be ok though. 😁

Eaglemont seems to have a lot of natural drainage... but I am sure there are spots where water can collect.

In the UK it just rains, and rains, and rains, and rains, and rains, and rains, and rains, and rains

Hence the name Mr. Puddle.

I carry a small tack hammer. But sometimes the ground is so dry and cold you need a sledge hammer.  On days like this I just hit fairway woods off the tee.
