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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
