More about the cartoon if you’re interested:
I loved “The A-Team” growing up, and of course, Mr. T was the most popular character.
I always thought their should be a novelty “Mr. T” tee. I’d buy one, get rich then say, “I love it when a plan comes together,” before hoping in my van.
This cartoon uses a visual comparison to playfully exaggerate those choices, between regular tees and Mr. T, turning simple golf tees into something far more intense than they need to be. The humor comes from the contrast between ordinary equipment and an over-the-top interpretation that golfers immediately recognize as unnecessary—but familiar.
Many aspects of golf culture thrive on these kinds of debates, where minor details are given outsized importance. Whether it’s tee height, ball brand, or glove style, golfers often treat personal preferences as serious business. Thank you for reading.
