Tee-box Rules For Beginners

Teeing Off: Start from between or behind the tee markers. Your ball must be within two club lengths behind the markers.

Lost Ball: If your ball goes missing, you have three minutes to search. After that, you must play a new ball from where you last hit your shot.

Fairway Shots: Play the ball as it lies. You can’t improve your lie, but you can remove loose impediments like leaves.

Mark Your Ball: If your ball is in the way of someone else’s putting line, mark it with a ball marker and then move it.

Putting Order: The golfer farthest from the hole putts first. This ensures a smooth pace of play and fairness.

Hole Out: Once your ball is in the hole, the hole is completed. Celebrate your triumph and move on!
