Stupid Golf Question

How high should I tee a 3 wood?

You copied your driver tee height and the 3 wood slid under the ball

Plain answer first

The plain answer

Tee a 3 wood low, with the ball only slightly above the grass and its top just above the top edge of the clubface. That gives you a clean lie without asking the smaller face to reach a driver-height ball.

The NPG answer

Give the 3 wood a perfect little lie, not the high platform your driver gets.

When it matters

It matters when using a 3 wood from a tee box for control or confidence instead of hitting driver.

What to do next

Start low and adjust a little at a time; lower the tee if you keep striking high on the face or sliding under the ball.
