3 1/4" Tees in the UK

I know I should be able to manage with tees 2 3/4" long (70 MM) !

BUT - I find I get on better with tees 3 1/4" long (82mm).

The problem is that I only have ONE left, and I found that one !

Where in the UK, apart from EBAY, can I get wooden 3 1/4" tees of any colour (yes that's how we spell color).

Anyone...any ideas - I dont really want to set up an Ebay account for 200 tees !

Wrap duct tape around that last one. It will last you.

You can buy them plain or personalized 3 & 1/4" tees at golftees.com


Offers free shipping in the USA (doesn't ship outside USA) so you'll need someone in the US to forward them to you. Not sure how long the duct tape idea will work!

Smile Re: 3 1/4" Tees in the UK

Ho Ho Ho !

I found a site in the UK that sells 4 1/2" Tees - I suspect that once I have used them once - they will be back to 3 1/4" !

I dont dare search the internet looking for 3 1/4 to 4 1/2 Inches....I am worried as to what I will find !!

I get enough Email offers of that kind already !

NIC,

I don't know about the UK but in the States 4" is the legal limit right now. I use 2 -3/4 and 3 1/4.

FYI,

GolfBald

Re: 3 1/4" Tees in the UK

Yes - same over here - I think the rules of Golf are pretty well common world wide - the obvious exception being the differences in the COR requirements until 2008 (I think its 2008 anyway).

So far no-one has found a UK based supplier of 3 1/4" Tees !

Amazing that I can't find them really, given they appear fairly popular.

If you use them while despatching your golf balls to a different state (I have read with interests your post on driving distance) - then you must find them useful too.

I will keep searching for those extra inches.....Where have I seen that before ?

Nic

Re: 3 1/4" Tees in the UK

Thanks Bald Guy !

I have ordered some in multi colours - I will see how long it takes for them to arrive.

Interestingly - they only appear to accept payment via paypal - so i had to set up an account !

Cheers again

Nic

Re: 3 1/4" Tees in the UK

Just to close the thread - the tees arrived on Saturday - good quality wooden tees exactly as required.

Thanks Golfbald and thanks to http://www.golfteesdirect.com

Now all I have to do is hit it straight and well....oh well nothing is ever easy in this world is it ?

Nic
