I am more of an average golfer . Handicap of 16 . I golf with my neighbors every week. 24 of us go out every sunday (couples). And I can say that 80% of our players are trying NOT to take a divot on the drive on the exec courses. That includes myself. Again , that may not be the best way to hit an iron off a tee, but I am talking reality of the skill of your average exec player, not what your best golfers actually do. Some of our ladies even tee it up in the fairway and in the sand trap.

If you're a 16 handicap, you're way better than either me or the guys I normally play with. If anyone of us tee'd up an a par three the other's would think we'd lost our minds.
By teeing up, you're completely missing the sweet spot of the club, unless the tee is at ground level. In that case you'll take a divot anyway because you have to hit down on the ball to get it up.
