As we are entering the Match-play season and I received a query today, I
thought it expedient to mention that Rules of Golf are not always the same for
both Stroke-play and Match-play.
If your opponent plays from outside the tee Box there is no penalty in
match-play, but you have the right to require your opponent to disregard the
stroke and play from within the correct Tee area.
Now the tee area is not the raised ground upon which the tee markers are
placed, it is the area rectangle consisting of a line between the two markers
(either white yellow or red) and behind these markers, forming a box, a distance
of two club lengths deep.
Another misconception is in regard to the two shot penalty when both balls
are on the green and a player’s putt strikes an opponents ball, In match-play
there is no penalty.
