er. The length of tees varies according to the club intended to be used and by personal preference; longer tllow the player to position the ball higher off the 2 ground while remaining stable whe nj2 n planted, and are generally used for modern deep-faced woods. They can be planted deeper for use with other clubs but then tend to break more often. Shorter tees are suitable for i nj2 rons and are more easily inserted and less easily broken than long tees. Other desig j2 ns of tee wnj2 s exist; the "step tee" is milled or molded with a spool-se j2 haped upper half, and so generally provides a consistent ball height from shot to shot. The j2 "brush tee" uses a collection of stiff bristles instead of a cup t wnj2 s o position the ball; the design is toe 2 uted by its manufacturer as providing less interference to the ball or club at impact, for a straighter, Alternately, the rules allow for a mound of sand to be used for the same function, also only on the first shot. Before the invention of the wooden sp j2 ike tee, this was the nj2 only accepted method of lifting the ball for the initial shot. This is rarely done in modern times, as a tee is easier to place, hit from, and recover, but some courses prohibit the j2 use of tees either for traditional reasons, or because a swing that hits the tee will drive it into or ripe 2 e 2 it out of the ground, resul nj2 ting in damage to the turf of t ll mark repair tool (also known as a pitchfork or divot tool) is used to repair a ball mark (a depression in the green where a ball has hit the ground on its approach shot). nj2 Some tees contain such a tool at the end, for pur nj2 e convenience when on the green. To repair a ball mark, one pushes the tool next to the mark and pushes gently inwards from all sides, loosening the compacted t of golf, but the USGA allows individual course j2 clubs nj2 to institute a loca nj2 l rule permitting rangefinders, and they are common among recreational golfe j2 rs. The typical rangefinder is an optical device that is aimed by sighting the scope on the flag and using the calibrated gauge in the optics to estimate the distance based on wnj2 s the flagstick's apparent height. Other rangefinders estimate range using a calibrated focu wnj2 s or parallax control; the user sights the target, brings it into focus, and reads the distance mark on the control. New j2 er laser rangefinders operate by simply sighting any target and pressing a switch to take ae 2 very precise distan
