They can effect your shot if you don't put them in the ground correctly.Tees are useful - they hold the ball off the ground, they can be used to clean the grooves on your clubface, pick hot dog spooge out of your teeth, mark the best shot spot for your scramble team, leave all kinds of interesting marks on the bottom of your driver. What they don't do is affect the flight or distance of your shot.
I would agree. Seems like the ball would be on its way before the club strikes the tee.Clarification: My buddy was talking about using an iron, so the ball is hit into the tee, not the club hitting the tee. I just can't see there being any effect, given the weight and forces involved.

Hotdog spooge is not the same as hot dog spooge.I leave hotdog spooge in my teeth...

I always felt that air had less resistance than dirt. What puzzles me is when players take a tee, jam it all the way in the ground and then put the ball on top of it. Why is the tee there? You have the opportunity on a par 3 to tee it up, so why not take advantage of that and give yourself the best lie possible. In the fairway, when the ball sits on the ground, you might hit it thin or fat. But if you tee the ball a little higher on a par 3, you can make more of a sweeping swing, and you've just eliminated the two things you don't want to happen.
This. One of the first things I learned in junior golf is to tee it up on par 3s to give yourself a "perfect lie."A little known golfer by the name of Jack Nicklaus said:
Thanks for that. Hot dog spooge doesn't get caught in your teeth like hotdog spooge.Hotdog spooge is not the same as hot dog spooge.
Just to clarify...
Those are the tees I use. They are called Stingers. I use the medium head, the tiny head is useless.lol! No, there's is no excuse for my slice. I did find a tee Monday, it had an 'S' on the top of a really small head, just big enough to touch about 3 dimples of the ball. I couldn't get the ball to stay. Next time someone asks me for a tee, that's what they will get.
