Concrete is the standard tee in the U.S. If you have been to Europe or have watched any footage the standard tees are terf on top of wood. The only course I can think of with terf is Richmond Hill in NC and I liked it.
Sometimes new or temp courses in the U.S. use rubber tees. Why is the standard concrete? I know I will be in the minority here but I actually prefer terf. In a perfectly dry world I also like the rubber tees.
Concrete tees are often done by the park or city and not a club or someone who knows how a tee should be finished. They tend to either have too much grip or not enough grip.
Looks at all the reviews for Rolling Pines, a new park with slippery tees. Did they paint them with something? One city park knew we wanted the tees to be "grippy" & they raked the wet concrete & it has way too much grip. Concrete tees tear up shoes and are a mess to change as a course grows or needs to change over time.
Am I the crazy one?
