We play with a guy that will tee up his ball anywhere he can.  Even in the bunker!  Before you start flaming him, he admits it, he doesn't keep score, and he's just having fun.  So we're good with it.

However we are curious if there is a specific rule governing this.  We know the rules about improving the lie, but what about teeing it up?

I found a lot of references about Tee Golf, which I never heard of.  Some variation of real golf.  I did find quite a few places that said you can't do it.  But no specific rule

6.2 covers the the teeing area rules and specifically states the ball may be played off a tee.

Teeing up a ball in any other area of the course is covered under 9.4b.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
