Playing a 4BBB match play this weekend and our opponent plays off the wrong tee and pulls it into to the heather.
We all knew the procedure for stroke play, general penalty and re-tee.
Very surprised that in match play there is no penalty but the opponent has the option to cancel the tee shot (which we declined to do).
In general I always think transgressions in match play are more punished severely than stroke play, so effectively having no penalty seems strange. Any idea why this is so?
