I use match sticks or toothpicks with a dab of PVA. - same concept, but easier to find around my house, or someone else I often help out.

I still use cedar shims and whittle a peg. But this is great if you want to sacrifice golf Tees.

I've seen that done with bamboo skewers, as a locksmith by trade for 40 years, I use brass inserts in the door with epoxy holding them after being threaded into the door.

Fancy. I have never seen that and installed many hundreds of doors and door lock sets. Seeing and always learning something new is why I am on here in the first place!

Bamboo is way better than equally sized wood dowels. Shish kebab skewers and chop sticks easily gathered, and that long grain really holes screws well.

Tapered wooden dowels; the only decent object of golf.
Golf would benefit of something to juice up the game; introduce a defense aspect. Imaginee having camouflaged guys hide in bushes and throw ball back?

How about swinging clubs and hitting the ball back. Oh wait that hockey

I have the perfect solution - mine the fairways.

A bouncing Betty in every hole would lend a pleasant element of surprise too.

M. Klotz "......mine the fairways".
Me, have signs made. "Mind The Fairways"

Every hole? That subtracts, should be random. A real surprise would be cup 50' deep; "it's in there, I swear, a hole in one!"
And a 101' long pin?
Another one; a little machine that switches ball you tipped in with different stamp and number, "it's in there, I swear, a hole in one!"
