Anyone else hate tee boxes that are just littered with broken tees? Played 18 with my dad Tuesday. Yesterday, I notice their is A BROKEN TEE speared through the bottom of my golf shoe, al the way through except the very pad inside. Luckily, my dad just filled it with silicone so it won't let water in. But I mean, wtf???? Anyone ever had this before? lol

Thats some golf tee... but in the 14 years I've been playing I never had, heard of ,or seen anything like your story. It must have been a 1 in a million thing though for you to not feel to you were standing on a tee and the fact that it didn't break.

Do you mean the area where you tee off, or those boxes they have next to the area that hold broken tees? Nothing against either of them, but I do get annoyed at people who don't try to keep the course nice out of respect.

i would rather have flat tee boxes than cleared off ones. it seems that none of the reasonably priced courses around here have level tee boxes...

Ideally, the tee ground should be level and clear of debris. Every tee box should have some divot repair material. However, I only find this at the very high end courses (which I don't play very often), so I've learned to live with it.

I do, however, pick up as many broken tees as reasonable and dispose of them. When there is divot repair material, I'll fill in as many divots as I can with one scoop.

I think I'd settle for tee boxes I could get a tee into right now. My home course is like concrete, I actually sliced my finger open last week when a tee broke with me trying to shove it in the ground.

No doubt! Sometime I wish I had a hammer when trying to get my tee into this Georgia clay.

Don't really let things like that bother me. I can't do anything about it, so I don't worry about it. I'm far more concerned with unfilled divots in the fairway and unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Those I WILL make an effort to fix when time allows.

The municipal track just down the street from me is the exact opposite. There is a retiree/ranger that spends time every day going to the tee boxes and cleaning up all of the broken tees. Kind of rough on the par 3s when you want a broken tee.

As a manufacturer of golf tees I love seeing as many broken tees as I can on the course, job security. Hate to see them go through someones shoe though.

Hey Alomar, Ive got a bunch of brush tees I will send you if you cover the shipping. Let me know.

I don't mind broken tees on the tee boxes. I'm looking at my ball when I swing so why should a few broken tees lying around bother me? What irks me is uneven tee boxes.

Posted
I reccomend getting these, they are our biggest seller and most popular tee on tour. Let me know if you would like a sample.

I will take some brush tee's if you are offering. I actually use the tee's in your link. I have the blue ones. I like them alot, but truthfully i break alot of them too.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Actually those pts tees are not too good, they were the first i tried since they have a measurement nex to it but they break extremely easily

rhe zero friction is the way to go. They also make them out of wood.

I love broken tees on par 3's. I always hunt around for one lying about and rarely am I disappointed. Why waste a perfectly good unbroken one?

I used to use those pts tees but for the same reason as above I don't play them any more. I'm too cheap, and they break almost every time. Golf being a venerable Scottish game, being cheap is a virtue.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
