Nob embracing English eccentricity to get things going (3,3)

I believe the answer is:

tee off

(Other definitions for tee off that I've seen before include "Play the golf ball from starting point" , "Start a golf game" , "Play opening shot in golf match" , "get started - with 28a" , "Start play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
