General information
When it comes to the game of golf, there are unlimited ways to jet the job done. A part of the game includes tee shots which begin each hole from an area called the Teeing ground. This teeing ground is also referred to as the tee box. On the tee box, the player has the special option to use a Golf tee. With this option, the Golf Ball is elevated off of the ground, which gives the player a wider variety of options of how to play the hole. Typically, a golfer will opt to tee the golf ball lower when hitting an Iron (golf). When hitting a Wood (golf) or a driver, the golf ball normally is teed up higher in order to elevate the results of the shot. While the ball may be teed up high, according to the United States Golf Association also known as the USGA, the largest tee a golfer may use is 4 inches tall. Tee height can greatly influence the trajectory of the golf ball, the player must decide which height is the best for the shot that is required, or the conditions that the shot must be executed during.

The Method
The actual process of teeing up the golf ball may sound simple, but there are a wide variety of methods that the golfer has to choose from. One could push in the tee first, then place the ball on top. This method works, but if the ground is firm, this method can become ineffective. The most efficient and successful method is to hold the golf ball and the tee at the same time; then use the golf ball to push the tee into the ground versus just the golfer's fingers. This also allows the golfer to test the straightness of the tee right away, versus having to see if the golf ball will even stay on the tee. This golf ball+tee method is a widely used method that can decrease the time to tee up a ball as well as increase the results.

Removing the Tee
After the shot has been hit, now the golfer may retrieve the tee. There are 2 main materials that golf tees are made of, those being wood and plastic. The wood tees are often viewed as the classic tee, but plastic tees are known for their strength and reusability. The wood tees are more prone to breaking, therefore no need to pick it up, but the plastic ones are more stronger and more expensive, therefore not as disposable. After hitting a driver, the tee should be very easy to collect, but when the ball is teed up lower after hitting an iron or wood, often times the tee is firmly in the ground. There are a few different ways that the player can collect their tee without holding up the rest of the group. A quick and dirty method is to line up the club with the tee and kick the club in an effort to get the tee to pop out. If adding a slight scratch is not ideal, a more guaranteed method is to use a divot tool which is a part of the golfer's range of Golf equipment. With this tool in hand, the golfer can use the teeth of the tool to pull the tee out of the ground, and continue with the round.
