Three steps to teeing off
Before you find your ball you need to lose it.
The process involves just 3 steps.
- Place the ball on the tee peg from the longest part of the tee.
- Hit your ball into oblivion.
- Replace the tee peg into the find a ball tees.
Don't forget: If you do think you've lost your ball
it's always advisable to play a provisional.
Wait until your partners have played before you go looking.
Now go looking for the ball.
Note: Although you only need to use the find a ball tees if you think you've lost your ball, it's a good idea to practice using the find a ball tees as often as you can.
Tutorial
Note: Before starting your search, don't forget to play a provisional
or more if needed!
- For best results, start from where you played your stroke.
- Holding the find a ball tees in front of you, walk towards the ball.
- As you near where you thought your ball went, look carefully for signs of bending.
- The find a ball tees may bend down, or up, or waggle slightly.
- Once you notice it, turn around to find where it's stronger.
- You may need to walk forwards or backwards.
- Keep your eyes on the ground rather than on the find a ball tees.
Remember: When you find a ball you need to identify it as yours.
Do not pick it up immediately otherwise you will incur a penalty.
You'll find more information on the find a ball tees in the 4-page instruction manual.
This includes advanced techniques such as: single-handed with/without a pitch mark repairer and searching in ditches and ponds.
How they work
There are many theories over how the find a ball tees work.
Some say it's similar to dowsing.
Many say that the find a ball tees keeps you focused on your search.
Others believe that it works like a lucky charm.
The truth is stranger than all the above...
the ball-tee affinity
In tests we noticed an affinity between the lost ball and the tee from which it was played.
First, use the tee from the longest part of the find a ball tees
If after your tee shot you believe you will need to search for the ball, then replace the original tee before selecting another tee from a different arm.
Repeat, if you need to play 5 from the tee.
The proximity of the head of the tee that you used increases the sensitivity of the find a ball tees.
Remember you heard it here first: the ball-tee affinity
