Feet behind the tee markers?

Well you can have about 42mm of your ball in front of the line across the leading point of each tee marker 

Indeed

"A ball is (only) outside the teeing ground when all of it lies outside the teeing ground"

R&A have ruled that a ball just touching the line is in the teeing ground (as per WH rule)

It's funny cause I changed my usual saying of 2 clubs back not an inch forward :whoo:

Uum....Please explain. I always thought all of the ball had to be behind the markers, but I have no sound reason for my thought. Always like learning something new

Look at the definition and post #21.

It is inside when touching from the outside

Just like out of bounds:
A ball is out of bounds when all of it lies out of bounds.

It is inside when touching from the outside.

I always envision an onion, comprised of several layers. A ball that touches a layer from outside the layer is considered inside. The layers on a golf course are the main onion, hazards, GUR, to name the primary ones. (There are doubtless some exceptions and I apologize for a lack of precision in my "rule.")

Understood thanks...and further clarification please. Is the back or front of the tee markers/pegs the tee ground boundary

The front. ie towards the green. The tee markers are wholly within the teeing ground.

You would need some pretty stellar eyesight to judge it that precisely!

A length of string does the job!
