| Question: | "Our superintendent always places the tee markers in the rough, outside of the tee box. He claims that it is more efficient for the person mowing tees in order to stay ahead of play in the morning. Is this a violation of the Rules of Golf?" |

| Answer/Response: | "No. The Rules of Golf state that "the 'teeing ground' is the starting place for the hole to be played. It is a rectangular area two club-lengths in depth, the front and sides of which are defined by the outside limits of two tee markers. A ball is outside the teeing ground when all of it lies outside the teeing ground." However, it is recommended that tee markers be placed on the shorter cut tee surface. It is preferable that tee markers be placed about 4-6 yards apart. This helps improve wear distribution on the tee by providing more teeing ground locations, and players will be less likely to inadvertently tee up in front of the tee markers. Finally, your course should consider reviewing its policy of early morning play if there is not enough time allowed to move tee markers." |
