I use Martini tees all the time. Not because of any advantage I think they give me, they're just more economical.

I do sometimes spend an extra minute or so looking for my one dollar tee, but I'm usually the one being held up on the golf course.

As far as the EzeeGolf goes, it costs $1,000 and a strip of nine powder cartridges is $50. That's $200 for every round you play on a regulation par 72 golf course. In addition, they want to sell you a warranty/insurance on the device and several other little add ons. I guess if you have a lot of money that you want to get rid of and think that this little toy is actually playing golf, then go for it.

But, it is not in any way, shape, or form, playing golf.
