Another teeing question

[chrisd]

Not wanting to muddle, or distract the other tee area question

If strokeplay is off the yellow tees and the players play off the further back white tees, but claim that the white tee is within the two club lengths of the yellow is it a penalty, have they played off the whites or yellows?

 

[Neilds]

The yellows.

Seems straightforward enough. If their claim is true then all is well.

I didn't think the whites markers were within 2 club lengths of the yellows, but I'm only asking to satisfy a discussion that I heard going on when i came in .

Provided that they have played from within the teeing area of the tees designated by the committee for the competition played, they have not played from a wrong place. They may even move the white tee blocks (amoveable object) if they wish.

If the ball was teed between the yellow tee markers and within 2cl behind them all was good.

That's fine thanks, I didnt think the whites were within 2 cl but not my concern for other groups

In that case they were incorrect as the did not play within the designated teeing area for that comp.

I realise that, the discussion was "if" the white tee was less than 2 club lengths behind the yellows.

For our Tuesday comps, we have the option of tees but must tick a box on the scorecard confirming which tee box we are using [ for 18 holes ] White or Yellow.
I think there's a 2/3 stroke difference.
BTW, sometimes the Tees are the same/level.

The teeing area of the hole you are playing is defined only by your own correct tee markers. Other tee markers are not relevant to you and are movable obstructions.

You said “I didnt think the whites were within 2 cl”

 

[nickjdavis]

That was his "opinion".

Unless someone actually measured the distance then opinions are all we have to go on.

I didnt actually measure them but was pretty sure they weren't, but it was mainly a hypothetical question and not my problem if other groups played off the whites as the only group we saw teeing off the white we shouted to a corrected them before teeing off on what would have been their 2nd hole.
