I’ve never tried it myself, but I’ve seen some arguments against using tees on the fairway. Some say it’s just not traditional. What do you think?
Tradition aside, if it helps improve your game, why not? Golf is evolving all the time; maybe it’s time to rethink those ‘rules’!
I can’t help but laugh at how serious some golfers are about this debate. Who knew a tiny piece of wood or plastic could stir such passion?
True! But let’s not forget how even the smallest things can affect our game. I recently switched tees and it made a noticeable difference for me.
That’s a great reminder! It’s all about the little adjustments we can make to enhance our performance, isn’t it?
I’ve personally found using a tee on the fairway can really help with accuracy, especially on longer shots. It gives me a bit of elevation and helps me focus on my swing. Just my two cents!
That’s an interesting point! I feel like it helps me connect better with the ball. Has anyone experienced issues with wind when using a tee?
I used to use a tee for my fairway shots, but I found that it often led to inconsistent contact. Sometimes, it just feels better to play it straight off the grass. It’s a mixed bag, really.

Totally hear you, Chris. It really depends on the lie and the conditions. Sometimes it’s less about the tee and more about your setup.

I’ve never tried it but I’m quite curious. Does using a tee really make that much of a difference? Especially for those of us who might be beginners?
I think it’s a personal preference. I really enjoy it when my ball is teed up on the fairway. Plus, it’s a fun conversation starter with friends! Just don’t tee too high though!

Haha, definitely a conversation starter! I feel like it can ease the pressure when you’re setting up for a challenging shot too.

In my experience, it can give you more control over your shot, but beware of the stigma! Some golf purists will have a fit if they see you using a tee on the fairway.

Right?! I had a buddy who almost lost it when he saw someone teeing off on the fairway. But who cares if it helps your game?
Honestly, it’s about what works for you. If the tee helps your game flow better, go for it! Golf is about enjoying the game after all.

I like to reflect on how different techniques can adapt to different courses. Maybe experimenting with a tee on the fairway will open up new strategies for my game!
