Hi Jon,

I have to agree with what your saying, i also play of the turf, and find i am consistantly straight, when playing of a tee i seem to forget my swing somewhat and concentrate more on the tee ball. Not a clue why but it most definately happens that way.

I find that I pull the ball too on par 3's if playing an iron off the tee.  I'm ok if I have to use a 5 wood though.  Also, if I use an iron of a par 4/5, I also hit it from the deck.

I don't understand why when the ball is tee'd up, I feel the need to try and hit the ball as supposed to 'sweeping' it off the tee.

Very frustrating!!

Yes, Have to agree, using little or no tee on a par 3 has shown results. I normally pick up the end of a busted tee and just push the cap into the ground just to sit the ball up a few mm of the ground.

Har worked a treat though!!..

I don't agree - why refuse the chance to give yourself the most perfect lie ever? If your pulling the ball your probably teeing it up like a driver, you want it barely off the floor so you can still hit down on it with a  normal swing.

Little orange castle tee for me...

Works a treat...

"you want it barely off the floor so you can still hit down on it with a  normal swing."

 Hence using the end of a tee to do just that.....
