Ask Linda #466-Altering tees

Linda, can you modify your tees so that they only go into the ground a certain length so that you are always teeing off from the same height?
Lou

Dear Lou,

Yes.

The only restrictions on tees are that they may not be longer than four inches, may not be designed to show you the line of play, and may not be constructed in such a way as to influence the movement of the ball or assist you in making your stroke.

You may whittle down your tee to any length 4 inches or less, and you may add a stopper to limit how far you can push your tee into the ground. There are several tees on the market designed to give you consistent height off the ground (e.g., brush tees), but there is no reason why you can’t get creative and build your own.
