Long par 3 or short par 3 it is highly recommended - do you use a tee on all par 3's? Thank you!

Just wondering - long par 3 or short par 3 it is highly recommended - do you use a tee on all par 3's? Thank you!

Every...dang...time

 

[Jtmagic]

Yes, tee used on all par 3’s unless I am hitting a lob wedge, which only occurs at a local par 3 course.

 

[zengineer]

Ask Hogan.

 

[Phil75070]

Anytime I can use a tee, I do!

 

[MtlJeff]

I don't ever use a tee on par 3s. I realize that's in the minority but I like hitting right off the grass.

 

[Bosco...]

I don’t use a tee on par 3’s with rubber mats. I’m that cool….

 

[Jman]

I always use a tee. I want a perfect lie.

 

[MGoBlue]

Low tee, yes, all the time.

 

[hedley_lamarr08]

Depends on the iron being used. I get a huge amount of spin high on the face with the CBs.

 

[Will_Mac]

I do. But I'll have the habitual tendency to tee it up just a bit too high. Demons, I'm sure, about past chunks and duffed shots.

When too high, the ball will turn over on me, and I'll miss the green left.

 

[1860VS]

Always. Just high enough to get the ball sitting barely above the top of the grass. No guessing how much spin I will get, ever.

 

[*Range Rat]

Very, very rarely do I not use a tee...it would have to be a GW/SW distance & I almost never play par 3's that short (<90 yds).

 

[OldandStiff]

I smell THREAD THIEVERY!!

 

[OldandStiff]

Of course I don't.

 

[MtlJeff]

I smell THREAD THIEVERY!!

Have you ever noticed that Ben Hogan was full of sh*t?

 

[Slowmo]

It completely depends on the shot. I find that when I tee the ball up on an iron shot for a par 3 I tend to hit a little farther than if I don’t. So if the shot needs a little less than a particular club I don’t use a tee. If it’s a little long for the needed club I’ll tee it up.

 

[scott.french3]

Always tee for me.

 

[4hourrule]

Anytime I'm allowed I Tre it up.

 

[WSox fan]

Always use a tee. I had 2 instructors tell me every amateur should so that’s what I go with.

 

[golfinnut]

Use a tee always.

Jack always said "when you get any opportunity to tee it up, do it."

 

[Et Tu Brute?]

Yes, I tee the ball up on Par 3 holes. Can't understand why this is even a "thing" that comes up constantly on forums. Must be a bunch of very silly people out there thinking a tee under the ball is somehow going to hurt them.

Here's a hint. You can tee the ball on a tee as low as you like...
