For ALL beginners (men/women/children)...I personally don't see anything wrong with it at all.
In fact, being able to hit it straighter and not always going off in the rough/woods when one is just starting...can more than make up for the minuscule amount of time it takes to tee it up.
Just like the "Tee It Forward" initiative, things that make the game more fun can only grow the game I love...and that has seen a slow and steady decline in recent years.
To me, that's like saying the 'Friendly Tees' should be eliminated...because they don't have a course/slope rating.
