I recently attended a corporate golf day in the States whilst there on a business trip. However, another member of my fourball queried the legality of my ‘ridged’ tees:
I was reading the R&A guide and think the relevant excerpt is here:
“Normally made from plastic or wood, consisting of a pointed, vertical peg which sticks into the ground and a small cup on which to place the ball. The peg can sometimes be shaped to incorporate a ridge to assist the player in obtaining a consistent teeing height. Conforming – as long as the total length of the tee does not exceed 4 inches.â€
Although we let the whole thing slide because another, another member of the fourball actually pulled out the same tees(!), I wanted to make sure with these are indeed legit given they are so available in the UK.
Thoughts welcome
