Ah golf. How many ways might one improve on the game? The mind boggles.
I here assert there is no upper limit on the length of a regulation golf tee; very long tees are not used because they would require the golfers to wear platform shoes or themselves stand on tees. This is a problem imposed
because of the design of golf clubs, requiring them to be swung down.
With the very long golf tee (perhaps 5 feet high) comes a new club; very clublike, made of wood or aluminum and robust. This club is very much like a baseball bat. It is used similarly, to hit the ball off of the tee.
I here assert that the mechanical advantages of this type of swing will permit longer drives, more winning, endless argument about rules, and a general revivification of the sport.
We're going to need some new rules...

A limit of 4 inches (101.6mm) [normzone, May 18 2011]
You're going to need more than that.

Sorry, [bungston], but this Idea is widely known to exist, in the Baseball category. [Vernon, May 18 2011]

I hearby assert the very opposite. The entire purpose of the longer club is to gain mechanical advantage. |
|
| |
Call that a Very Long tee? Pah. |
|
| |
Yes, I am thinking an 11 foot tall tee, for use with a normal golf club, overhand. |
|
| |
[Poc] That could work, although the club would have to be inverted so the head sloped away from the shaft instead of towards it. |
|
| |
I like the overhand golfing very much. Better than a bat! |

Taken to the ultimate conclusion, thirty-foot tees of a spring material would constitute trebuchet analogs, and no club would be required (link). |
|
| |
//must not be longer than 4 inches// So make it hover. Or perhaps more practically, insert the 4 inch tee into an 11 foot tee-holder. |

Call that an ultimate conculsion? I refer to you to
the linked idea by a friend and all-round good-egg. |

It could be 4 inches long and 5 feet wide, and you'd just
turn it on its side. |

Yes, Officer, I'm sorry for speeding. Here's a
complimentary tee, to rest your balls on when you're
driving. |

[Maxwell], you can rebuff me anytime, and I'll sign up for another buffing. |
