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.
