Environmentally friendly tees come in two major categories, the biodegradable tee and the reusable long-lasting tee. The biodegradable golf tee is designed to dissolve in the environment much faster than the painted wood golf tee. They are usually molded of some food grain ingredient such as wheat paste or cornstarch, etc. As such they take the same amount of energy to run molding machines as the reusable tee. Additionally, the biodegradable golf tee still litters the tee box with broken objects that must be cleaned up by the greens keeping staff at the golf course. The likelihood that they would be left until they dissolved on a tee box is very small. They will probably be vacuumed with a lawn vac and end up in the landfill alongside their painted wood cousins. Biodegradable, while better than a painted wood tee is not as efficient or environmentally friendly as the reusable golf tee. The biodegradable tee is a throwaway product, which also includes throw away packaging. It takes the same amount of energy to produce as the molded long-lasting reusable tee. The reusable tee also leaves less litter on the tee box. Not all reusable tees are the same however. One of the more popular varieties is packaged with only 3 tees in a gigantic plastic blister pack. Moreover this product comes with various predetermined heights, so that a golfer who wants several different heights will have that much more waste. The D-tee from Distancetee arrives in the mail in a recycled paper envelope, that can be recycled again. There are 16 D-tees in a reusable pouch that stays closed in your golf bag. That's all! They will last the average golfer longer than 200 wood or biodegradeable tees. They also have many other advantages that are available to view on the web site at d-tee.com. |
In golf the split-second that the club-head is contacting the ball has everything to do with the results. Factors such as dimple design on the ball, how the grooves are cut on the club-face, heel toe weighting, and the stiffness or twisting of the shaft. Everyone knows your swing is also a major factor. The swing needs proper setup, execution, tempo, body rotation, weight transfer, and grip etc. etc. That's not to mention exterior factors such as, weather conditions, lengths of grass, uphill or downhill lie, Stimpmeter readings on the green, even the spikes on your shoes. This list could be much longer but as you see, golf is a game of minutiae. So when I hear that tees don't matter I really wonder if anyone has been paying attention. One poorly designed tee may get you the same results as another poorly designed tee, but a well-designed tee can shave strokes off your game just as a well-designed club or favorable weather conditions can shave strokes off your game. There is no better golf tee design than the D-tee from Distance Tee golf. The D-tee is the only tee designed to give you both less resistance on your ascending club strikes such as driver and three wood, while giving you better ball contact on your descending strikes such as par three iron shots. These events combine to give you a more consistent edge on every tee shot. The D-tee is made of high strength polycarbonate, not wood or plastic or cornstarch. The knife-like blade is easy to insert in the ground and flexes in the direction your club head is moving for less resistance with your driver and three wood. On par three iron shots that require a descending strike, the flexible shaft and oversized head combine to give you consistently better ball contact. Time after time you will get the full loft and spin your club was designed to achieve. In a game where even your lucky hat can appear to have positive results, it is time to stop ignoring your choice of golf tees. Choose the best designed tee in golf, the D-tee from Distance Tee. |
