It very definitely can. They are friction and more common in the harder metal drive with titanium or tungsten soles but tempered steel will also generate sparks. Hitting rocks, sand, pebbles, glass or the like creates great enough friction and occasionally sparks. Any material including tees can generate such sparks if the club head is travelling fast enough and contact is made at the right angle. Fires from these sparks are rare.

No, this is a very obscure possibility. The driver head of most drivers is wood, with an aluminum or steel face. With an aluminum face, it would have to hit a large (and I mean large) jagged rock to even consider a spark. With a steel face, it would spark off a rock, but the chances that a rock would be in the right plane for a driver to cause this is very remote.

It's pretty common with a titanium driver. You're simply hitting tiny rocks or sand during your swing.

only if you are using a titanium driver and there are small bits of stone or sand where you are swinging
