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 321: range session. Filmed while hitting to check things. Need a little more steep in the backswing, but good check to make sure I’m still on track. Also worked on sand shots for about 20 minutes.

      Have you talked with sprinters? Many would disagree that their sport is entirely physical. (I get what you're saying, but we're both speaking from a position, I think, of ignorance on this re: sprinting, or high-level basketball. What if you've missed your last four jump shots? How do you take the next one, or do you start to pass more?)

      Also, go back to what you were doing when you were here. Start slow, and build from there.

      Day 37 (6 Jun 25) - Friday men’s group shootout today - started off bogey-par, blew up three with lost ball triple.  Settled in to finish par-bogey, bogey-par-par-bogie 43 front. Opened the back with dbl followed by par, birdie, par, bogey, bogey, par, bogey, bogey to close with a 41 - 84 overall.  All that to cover key takeaways from today:  First - putting was solid with a total of 29 putts; Second - the two blow up holes were followed with pars (learning to leave it behind); Third - off the tee was solid (except for the blow-up on three); Fourth - of the 7 pars - 3 were up and down 1 putts and Fifth - out of position recovery type shots were about trusting the club to execute.  It was a good day - capped by closest to the pin on the par 3 12th hole….

      And of course, none of that should matter if I’m practicing because it shouldn’t be based on the results of contact. Took me about an hour and a half to calm down to have that realization.
