I'm not sure about the Royal and Ancient's rules, but the USGA restricts only the length of the tee at 4 inches (101.6mm) and states that the tee "must not be designed or manufactured in such a way that it could indicate the line of play or influence the movement of the ball."
There are a number of different products that one can use to "tee" the ball up that tout themselves as superior. However, none of them seems to have caught on enough to threaten the market for the humble wooden tee.
Thanks guys for your advice responses and could anyone have an idea what the actual circumference (as in measurement) of a golf tee-peg (The top part where a golf ball rests on)?
Thank once again.

Now ukgolfer, your next post will be the real reason for asking this question or it may be your last.
Thank you wazmankg,
The real reason for asking those questions is that I like doing everything to near perfection and as I am taking on playing golf then it is appropriate to know everything concerning the game.
Cheers, you have been helpful.
With all due respect, ukgolfer, I'd devote my attention to things that matter, not things that don't like the measurements of a tee. I figured you were planning on turning your own tees.
Kinda like asking what is the length of the ultimate arc in the swing to determine the generation of the perfect path to make the most MPH at point of impact for trasference of energy to the ball for optimim ball flight.
Well, that depends on if you are 6'5" or just a midget with 6 foot arms.......cause if you are 4' tall with 6 foot arms THEM we have to talk loft vs. flatness of the swing.
