Question BEFORE TEEING OFF ON A TEE WHERE THE WHITE AND BLUE MARKERS WERE PLACED BACK TO BACK, MY OPPONENT MOVED THE BLUE TEE MARKER FROM BEHIND THE WHITE TO FACILITATE HIS SWING . LEGAL?
Answer Hello Rick: The penalty for what you describe is: Match Play: Loss of Hole – Stroke Play: 2 Stroke Penalty and occurs once he has moved the marker.
“11-2. Tee-Markers
Before a player makes his first stroke with any ball on the teeing ground of the hole being played, the tee-markers are deemed to be fixed. In these circumstances, if the player moves or allows to be moved a tee-marker for the purpose of avoiding interference with his stance, the area of his intended swing or his line of play, he incurs the penalty for a breach of Rule 13-2.”
