Total newb question

[UhOh]

I'm completely new to golf. I've been to the driving range a few times and liked it so I bought a cheap starter set and am planning on hitting the range to develop my skills before playing a game. I figure i'll start off with my irons but I was wondering: do I use the tee? or shoot off the mat? or does it not matter. I dont want to look like a complete fool just a 3/4 fool.

Re: Total newb question

A good general rule is use a tee when you're allowed.

For irons, set the top of your tee level with the top of the grass.

For a driver, set the top of the tee 3/4 of the way up your driver face.
