Teeing Ground

[Foxholer]

You are probably right, because it's quite a few years since I last played Rugby. I know it's different to football, where as long as the ball stays in, the player can step over the side lines.

Line has 'always' been outside field of play (or over in the case of Goal Line) in Rugby - both codes.

In football the whole of the ball has to cross either the touch line or the goal line.

I fail to see the relevance of this in a rules forum.

You do realise how much shorter these threads could be if you stopped "trying to help"?

I tried to help on one of these the other day, it didn't work and I was shot down. I read through the replies, understood them and now consider myself more educated, as well as realising I should leave it to the guys who know the rules much better than I.

Do you see the difference in our two approaches?

The relevance is that some of the myths of golf may be carry overs from the rules of other sports! :mmm:

But surely the purpose of this part of the forum is to get the exact answer, with the exact terminology and not confuse the answers with perpetuating and/or even adding to the myths. No one, as far as I know, want every ruling on here given the a Delc treatment!

Perhaps almost as many as you generate

OOB? WH?

Still worth posting imo - as long as you can accept that you might get 'shot down'! Otherwise, it's likely that your misconceptions are never corrected.

The inability to (simply) admit error is not a positive attribute imo; and can be a dangerous one!

I like to tee up on the left side of the tee so quite often tee the ball just inside the markers but stand outside.

Yeah, but you can also throw the ball back into play from the edge of the pitch but I wouldn't advise trying that in golf either.

Anyone else trying to picture taking a tee shot with your ball behind the markers but your feet in front...

I do it when I'm practicing my shanks

Regardless of what the correct terminology is, its clear what delc means and the constant shouting down of his point just looks foolish.

Is that a case of " you can't see the myths for the tees"

You should work for the UN.
