Teed off in front of the tee-markers: what is the penalty in stroke play?
In stroke play you accidentally tee your ball a hand’s width in front of the line between the tee-markers and play. What is the ruling?
Answer
Two penalty strokes, and you must play again from inside the teeing area
In stroke play, playing from outside the teeing area costs two penalty strokes, and you must correct the mistake by playing from inside the teeing area. The stroke from outside does not count.
