Why players choose wooden golf tees over the alternatives out there and a list of some of the best options available.
Wooden golf tees vs plastic
One of golfs stranger debates is whether you should be use a wooden golf tee or a plastic one. It's for some reason expected that a player with a lower handicap can no longer use a plastic tee and should instead switch to the wooden version. But why is this and is there any merit to the argument?
Pros use wooden golf tees
This is certainly true. We'd all be surprised if we saw Rory Mcilroy arrive at the first hole in Augusta and stick in a bright orange castle tee. Or in a tense rider cup playoff hole both pros lined up with pink castle tees in hand. So are we just copying the experts?
What is the difference?
In truth, not a lot. Plastic can be harder to plant in firm ground and will bend instead of breaking. So you could end up spending more time bending the tee back into the correct shape. Wooden golf tees will be much easier to plant in the turf but are less durable so will break. However interestingly in a study it was found that a golfer will re-purchase a pack of wooden tees at the same rate as they would plastic so that's the longevity argument out the window.
