Teeing Up Irons (Par 3 or Otherwise)

[newtogolf]

For hybrids and long irons, I tee it high enough so that the ball just clears the ground and is fully supported by the tee, about 1/8".  With short irons, I don't use a tee.

I never use a new tee for par 3s or par 4s where I use an iron. I have so many broken tees that I made myself or picked up laying around, I never need to buy tees for irons ever again. Even for my 3W and hybrid, broken off tees are fine.

This is me to a "tee"..... Pretty much guaranteed to find a broken tee on the par 3's at my home course, if not then I've got back ups in the bag.

I like to have the ball just enough off the ground to be completely supported by the tee.

For iron shots, probably 1/8" to 1/4" or so.  I play some pretty long par 3s that require hybrids(for me).  For those, I tee it just a bit higher so it probably is a full 1/4" or slightly more.
