Hi Guys. My query is as follows:-
In matchplay, Player A incorrectly tees up outside the teeing area and then drives his ball out of bounds. Player B points out the mistake and decides not to cancel the stroke, so, Player A must take a "stroke and distance" penalty and play his second shot from the tee area. It's my understanding that Player B is not allowed to tee up his second ball - he must drop it in on the tee (Rule 14.6). It's also my understanding that if Player B was not aware of this requirement and teed the ball up before driving then he would suffer a "loss of hole" penalty. Am I correct or have I just lost the plot completely??!!
