Yes but would have thought that might be covered by rule 1.3 c (4)Don't know the answer as I am not on the R&A rules committee, but it could be to avoid the sceatio where a player tee's off, hits it out of bounds and then says, oh but hit from the wrong place. It is also consistent with hitting he ball from a wrong place anywhere else on the course.
