I am just curios as to which you lot prefer. Personally, I like long, wooden tees. I can hit plastic ones, but only with about 7 iron-PW, not any other clubs. I play much better with the long white wooden ones, and I have plentiful supply of them.

Which do you prefer?

I use the shorter wooden tees. I don't normally tee the ball up very high, so there is no need for longer tees in my situation.

I work for State Farm Insurance, and we just got in a whole load of State Farm tees, so I have a very large supply going right now. And I get to show off the State Farm as well.

By the way, I like to have a plastic tee or two to hit at the driving range, but I never hit them good on the course. I think it was a mental thing.

I never thought of it from a performance standpoint. I can hit just as bad with either! I have noticed that plastic tees leave a nasty mark on the bottom of the driver though.

I agree with this point about those plastic tees. They can leave some might nasty marks on the bottom on your club. In fact I didn't think anyone used plastic ones anymore. And in the heat of the summer it seemed they were sometimes tough to stick in the ground without them either bending or breaking.

I guess you never tried to play golf after a few beers or in a heavy wind

It's a real pain in the you-know-what to get that damn ball stay on it ! On top of that - it's not economical, the thin S-tee never survives a swing, it's a one-swing tee only. I know you can use the broken one for an iron, but still - I went through a box of them in a month. $30. I think I'd give up these 20yds they promise (yeah, right) and go with normal tees

normal white wooden tees for driver. as said above i don't need to tee it up that high as i have a relatively shallow faced driver. i just bought a pack of the tees tiger uses... like the stinger tees... pretty nice, seemed to have held up well after a couple of drives, and they are relatively soft too.

for irons i use the lowest 'height-set' tees. their virtually indestructible... made of a soft plastic so no marks... and always are set at the perfect height. if i want to tee the ball slightly higher i use a wooden tee.
