I was curious what the general consesus was in regards to this?

I have a friend who said its always recommended to use a tee but I wasn't sure this was required or just his personal preference?

I'm a new golfer so please forgive my ignorance. I prefer hitting my irons directly off of the ground but wasn't sure if that was frowned up at some courses.

Always, always use a tee unless I'm just practicing and feel I want to work on my iron play. A very short one for irons, just so the ball is barely above the grass.

Nicklaus and Trevino have both been quoted as saying to the effect of " Why wouldn't you give yourself a perfect lie when you have the opportunity?"
