to prepare something for someone · to set something up
Imagine you're organizing a presentation or a project, and you want to make it super easy for your colleague to take over or present it seamlessly. You'd "tee it up" for them! It's like setting the ball perfectly on a golf tee so they can hit a hole-in-one! ⛳️
💡 **Fun Fact!** This phrase comes from golf! 🏌️♂️ Just like a golfer places the ball on a tee to get a good shot, when you "tee something up," you're setting the stage for someone else to succeed. It implies thorough preparation, making the next step smoother. Use it when you've done the preliminary work and are handing it over.
