..that if you accidently hit your ball at address, on the tee box, whether by addressing or a practice swing incurs NO PENALTY.

..I didn't..I really thought that if the ball comes off the tee it was a stroke..especially if you accidently hit it with a practice swing...which I've seen.

yep, as long as your intention is not to hit the ball off the tee it's OK, no penalty . . .

and you can start your swing and stop it at any point before moving through the ball with no penalty as Tiger has done several times when a photographer has snapped a photo during his swing. So if the swing doesn't feel right you can stop it, like a checked swing.

You really should buy a rule book every year $1.00-$1.50 to know the rules of golf. They actually will be more helpful than harmful.

Or join the USGA for $25. You get (among other things) a rules book that way.

For the most part the Rules of Golf follow common sense. All too often the tee is not in secure ground and falls over. Some tee boxes are so hard I almost need to bring a hammer and the tee is not secure. This rule makes a lot of sense.

There is no penalty if the hit is unintentional. I saw Arnold Palmer do that very thing at the Houston Open and he just laughed and replaced it on the tee. NO penalty!

      Our Men's Business League Starts Tonight With an Interesting Local Rule.

      By snapfade ·

      This is the first time I have played in this league but here is an interesting local rule they use. You are allowed to move your ball one score card length in either direction to improve your lie. Scorecard has to be in the folded position though. I love beachside golf. The other rule is you got to walk unless you have a handicap placard.

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By snapfade ·

      PGAT is all about Scottie right now and rightfully so. The PGAT has it's star right now and some potential good guys hoping Scottie takes some time off.  The LIV guys are of the radar until the PGA. There will be the Rory/ Hovland rumors to keep the fire smoldering until then.  You will probably get your wish as time moves on. What I like most about LIV is they are funded by a regime that has numerous human rights violations and the players don't seem to care. The fans certainly don't seem to mind. I admit, I went to LIV Miami to check it out, it wasn't empty.  I didn't see anyone protesting.

      After 393 pages of replies can we all agree that Tiger is the GOAT?

      Hmmm, seems odd. I have ordered several things from them and have never had an issue, so I'm confident it will be resolved. I'm sending the watch back, I don't care for it, Ill just use the H4. There's nothing technically wrong with it, I just don't like it.
