You Can’t Use a Pencil to Tee Your Ball

Have you ever been out golfing and the game is getting a bit stale. Sooner or later your golfing buddies (mostly happens if they’re male) will try to do something goofy with the pencil or a tee.

More often than not the golf pencil or tee is tried to be shot from the nose. I’ve tried it, and once had a bad experience with it so I don’t suggest you try it at home.

However, sometimes one of your buddies will try and show you how he can get the golf ball to balance on non-writing end of the golf pencil and proceed to try and use the golf pencil as a tee on the next hole. Now if you’re just playing a friendly round this might be amusing enough to watch him try it out and hope that the ball rolls off at the last second and he (or she) completely whiffs at the ball.

But if you’re keep score diligently and enforcing any penalties that might happen, you can let him know that using any “unnatural” object other than a regulated tee to tee-off from is against the rules and he will be disqualified from competition. That may be a bit harsh and you might have to work out a stroke penalty for the rules violation, but if you’re up there for big bucks, it might be what has to be done.
