teed
Placed on peg
Teed is the past tense of tee, meaning to place a golf ball on a tee before driving.
The phrase teed up extends beyond golf to mean prepared or ready for action: The proposal is teed up for the board meeting.
If someone is teed off, they're annoyed or angry—a usage that may derive from the frustration golfers feel when a drive goes wrong.
