How do you get a tee that is 10 feet off the ground? Sorry, lame joke.

I can't say it better than one of the pros, so I'll just quote from him:
Hitting the Ball High -- To hit the ball higher than normal, you need to add effective loft to your club. Here's how you accomplish this: First, play the ball slightly forward in your stance, which should be slightly open. Next, make sure your hands are slightly behind the ball at address, which sets the shaft tilted slightly back. Then, make your normal golf swing. Keep in mind that this shot will not fly as far as it would with your regular golf swing, and it should fade slightly and stop quickly when it lands. Take these factors into account when planning your shot.

Hitting the Ball Low -- This is an excellent shot to have when playing in strong winds or when trying to play out from under trees. Again, just as when you're trying to hit a higher-than-normal shot, the first step is a slight change in your address position. You'll want to play the ball marginally back of center in your stance, with your hands positioned ahead of the ball. Many players also find it helpful to close their stance slightly while gripping down somewhat on the club. The shaft is now tilted forward and you simply make your normal swing.
