I guess I have been around to long. Frist, I agree with the good Dr., EzeeGolf is not in any way real golf. However, I can remember when metal drivers were introduced. They were a “gimmick” and would never replace a good persimmon head driver. Next was graphite shafts. Only steel shafts for real golfers. Then came hybrids! What is the golf world coming to? Hummm... clubs and equipment that made the game easier and more enjoyable for amateurs. If a martini tee makes someone play better, then it is worth the $1.25 to them. Only if they remember to tilt it forward 3 degrees! The “purists” can continue to buy and break their wood tees.
