Be careful with questions like this. Single-digit handicappers tee their woods just as low as they would for an iron. Mid and High HCs tee our woods more like driver.

that would indicate to me a reason someone is a high handicapper, not a reason to not follow good advice :)

usually only use tees with my driver and 3 wood, hit hybrids and my irons with no tee

Well, all I meant was the better the player, the lower they typically will tee the ball when using a wood. The best players will tee it as low as possible, just to give the perfect lie.

If someone is good enough to hit woods off the ground, then I agree - when using a wood to drive, tee it low!

When you hit a hybrid off a tee, do you tee it up like a 3 wood or just above the grass as if you were hitting an 7 iron?

I tee them all the same -- irons, 3W, 2H -- just a smidge above the grass, like a good lie on a springy fairway.

I wouldn't say that. I am not a low handicapper, but the ones I have played with didn't tee it up any lower than I do.

really... you list your handicap as +10... which means you are better than 0 or scratch... a plus handicap indicates strokes YOU give back to par. I am guessing you should be a 10, not a +10... and I'll go out on a limb and say that that number is merely a guess and in fact you don't have a handicap.

It does say 10+, not +10, which I assume means he's somewhere above 10.

excellent point... you're probably right.

    • Wow, a new season is upon us.  At this stage I have about 36 days of referee work scheduled, and I know I'll pick up a few more later in the season.  I have a couple of highlights, including two USGA qualifiers.  First is the US Senior Open at the Homestead, VA, second is for the US Senior Women's Open and Senior Amateur.  In just about two weeks I'll be co-chair for a college women's championship near Baltimore, a bit of a step up in responsibility.  The other highlight will be the Kenridge Invitational in Charlottesville, VA.  That one has had the same four officials for a few years, and I was specifically invited to take the spot of a retiring referee.  Apparently I'm doing something right. We had a difficult situation this past week at a junior event.  Two players approached me while walking off the 17th green.  They said they had noticed another player marking, lifting, and aligning his ball while it was on the fringe of the green, NOT on the green.  That's a 1-stroke penalty (Rule 9.4 for anyone who cares), and I told them to talk to the Player in order to make sure the score was recorded correctly.  Apparently that went fine, the Player realized he'd made a mistake, and accepted the Penalty gracefully.  His father, on the other hand, became irate, cursing at the two Players, cursing at the guy in charge of the competition, even cursing at the fathers of the two boys.  Not much anyone could to except to let him rant, but its sad to see.
