Samuel Camazzola Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Golf England look to be active in preventing courses down there closing as part of Thursday's restrictions. Madness to include courses within the closures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Potter Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Wee question for the folks on here, whats your preference of golf tee on par 3 holes. I find the blue tee 18mm step height is best for myself, thoughts folks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would tee it up a smidge higher if you visualise hitting a draw or holding it into a left to right wind, or to hit a fade with a mid iron. Tee it down a bit if you're trying for a low launch, etc. I always use a small standard tee or more often I pick up a broken bit of wooden tee to use. Never a pre-set tee.

Furious Styles Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Wedge or 9 usually off the deck for me. Like Victorian I look for broken tees to use for irons. Always very low though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Irufushi Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I use the silver peg tees for all my shots off the tee . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victorian Posted November 2 Author Share Posted November 2 There's a boy at my club who hits his driver (not very lofted from memory) off the deck from most tees. I've seen him tee it up a little bit with a peg and he's a bit wild. Superb striking with it off the deck and he's by no means a powerful hitter. I'll sometimes try a driver from the fairway or first cut if the lie is inviting but you really have to swing smoothly and just let the clubhead lift it to get any decent flight. Good option if you're after a chasing shot into a green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do folk still use the coloured castle tees? I don't think I've played with anyone in about 15 years who's pegged a ball up with one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worth it as I think the are pretty much unbreakable. He says, awaiting to get slaughtered over next couple of posts. Edit: Which means you don't need a packet, only one.

Mines shows cdh number and another column with my WHS link. It's contradictory. The SGU site says you download the app and then use it to register. When you try to register it tells you you're already registered. Then tried to log in via the app and was told to verify from an email. Did that but then discovered it doesn't work. Just uninstalled the app as I'm fed up with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
