Buying Tips
Get the most out of your golf tees when they are plastic. Wooden tees break easier. However, some golfers say plastic tees don t have enough give when you strike the ball. Similar to brush tees, Epoch tees reduce friction and increase speed and distance. The plastic tees look more like traditional golf tees. Consider golf tees with marks along the side to assist with consistent ball placement.
How long do golf tees last?
Golf tees are constructed from three different materials — plastic, wood, or bamboo. The tees are made to be durable and able to withstand lots of contact from a golf club. The wood and bamboo tees are very durable but can crack or break over time. They are biodegradable so they are a more environmentally friendly option. The plastic tees do splinter less frequently though they can bend. They are not biodegradable so they must be disposed of.
Do I need golf tees?
If you are a golfer, you need tees to start off any hole. They are four inches in length with a pointy end on one side and a divoted cup for resting the ball on the other. The tee goes into the ground and the ball sits in the cup to keep it above the grass. Whenever you start a game of golf it is important to have a sack of tees with you which makes them a necessary piece of equipment for the game.
When you are looking to purchase a package of golf tees, there are some important factors to consider. The first issue is to decide what material you prefer the tees to be made from. Each material has its pros and cons. Bamboo tees are made from a fast-growing grass which is the most sustainable choice in golf tees. They are stronger than wood. When they do break, they are biodegradable and compostable. Depending on the company, you may pay more or get less in a package than the plastic or wood ones. Wood tees are the original option. For traditionalists, this is the preferred choice. They can be pushed through the turf easily, come in lots of fun colors, and are quite durable. Plastic tees are a newer option that are great for those looking for tees that won't splinter or crack as the wood and bamboo ones can. They have a smooth polished surface and hold the ball perfectly. They can bend on occasion which makes it difficult for setting the tee in the turf straight up and down. Tees are available in different colors which can be fun to choose from. Look for the ones that are lined to mark how far to place the tee in the ground. Check the packet quantity. The more tees you get the more you'll have for your next rounds on the green.
