A feathered tee is not actually feathered but has thin lots of plastic things sticking up and you balance your ball on it , people think the ball flies off it better and you can sort of brush thru the tee. They are expensive so guess that's why he came back to try to find it, they fly far when you miss the ball and hit that tee !

They are hard to put in ground!! Can't press down like a regular tee

We four were getting ready to tee off when all of a sudden we saw the man in front walking back up the golf cart trail coming toward us. We all assumed one of them had left a golf club and we just didn't see it. But not the case. He told us his girlfriend was partial to a feathered tee and he was trying to find it for her. We couldn't believe our ears. Don't know if he found it and didn't care. Talk about the etiquette of golf and Ready Golf and holding up the game. Those two didn't have a clue.

Hey! This is The Villages. Live and let live! Does however raise the question of what else might she use the feathered tee for that makes it so damn important?

Only Gracie would have the wit to come up with that one. It got a chuckle out of me <g>.

Well, I thought I did...BUT.

We have this sign in the house that says.

Golf is not a matter of Life and Death
It is much more serious than that.

And that is how it goes around here. We shoot slow players.

Feathered tees hmmm...if I tape feathers to my ball, do you think....ahhh nevermind.

Did OP consider teeing off whilst the feather searcher was back in tee box area, then advancing forward together so as not to disrupt the whole freaking schedule?
