I'm still seeing "fixed position" to mean "on a tee" (with or without a holder) OR "held in position on the ground" by a holder.

If fixed position and On a tee were the same thing ... then why mention one, put the word OR, and mention the other?!?!?!

Fixed is a simple English word, as you've alluded to. Nowhere in my dictionary under the word fixed does it say, "attached to a tee" or "held in position by a holder". Fixed, very simply, means motionless.

"Affixed" means what you are implying. "Fixed" does not.
