Well, everything old is new again. LPGA major champion Laura Davies uses the same technique today, as pictured in the image above. For a brief time, Michelle Wie copied Davies' technique.
But please, do not try this at home. Davies is pretty much alone in harkening back to the earliest method of teeing a golf ball. This method tears up the teeing ground, and also makes it more difficult for players less-skilled than Davies to make good, clean contact with the ball.
