Yes, you can put a tee in some golf mats that are designed for that purpose. Mats with high density turf allow standard wooden or plastic tees to be placed directly into them without fixing or creating holes. Using real tees in a golf mat simulates being out on the golf course and allows you to aim and address the ball properly. However, some mats only have rubber tee holders which don’t provide the ideal height.
Stability and Technique
When using a tee on a mat, ensure the mat is level and firm. Place the tee in the center of the mat, then take your club and place it behind the ball with your fingers, not your palm. This gives you a more stable base to work from which helps if you struggle with your swing.
Benefits of High-Quality Mats
Overall, investing in good quality high density turf mats brings many benefits whether practicing drives, fairway shots or bunker shots. It allows you to replicate much of your real golf technique. And portability means you can set up indoor practice areas easily. So before buying, check if your golf mat handles real tees.
