RULE OF THE MONTH: TEEING GROUND

Rule 11. Teeing Ground

DEFINITIONS

All defined terms are in italics and are listed alphabetically in the Definitions section.

11-1. Teeing
When a player is putting a ball into play from the teeing ground, it must be played from within the teeing ground and from the surface of the ground or from a conforming tee (see Appendix IV) in or on the surface of the ground.

For the purposes of this Rule, the surface of the ground includes an irregularity of surface (whether or not created by the player) and sand or other natural substance (whether or not placed by the player).

If a player makes a stroke at a ball on a non-conforming tee, or at a ball teed in a manner not permitted by this Rule, he is disqualified.
A player may stand outside the teeing ground to play a ball within it.

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.

11-3. Ball Falling off Tee

If a ball, when not in play, falls off a tee or is knocked off a tee by the player in addressing it, it may be re-teed, without penalty. However, if a stroke is made at the ball in these circumstances, whether the ball is moving or not, the stroke counts, but there is no penalty.

11-4. Playing from Outside Teeing Ground

a. Match Play
If a player, when starting a hole, plays a ball from outside the teeing ground, there is no penalty, but the opponent may immediately require the player to cancel the stroke and play a ball from within the teeing ground.

b. Stroke Play
If a competitor, when starting a hole, plays a ball from outside the teeing ground, he incurs a penalty of two strokes and must then play a ball from within the teeing ground.

If the competitor makes a stroke from the next teeing ground without first correcting his mistake or, in the case of the last hole of the round, leaves the putting green without first declaring his intention to correct his mistake, he is disqualified.

The stroke from outside the teeing ground and any subsequent strokes by the competitor on the hole prior to his correction of the mistake do not count in his score.

11-5. Playing from Wrong Teeing Ground

The provisions of Rule 11-4 apply.

REMINDERS

GOLF CART RULES

There are more young golfers playing golf and I would like to remind everyone of the golf cart rules. The golf carts are only to be used for access to the driving range and playing on the course. In addition, to operate a golf cart the individual must have a valid drivers license. Finally, at no time should children operate the golf cart supervised or unsupervised. I thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter to make English Turn a safe enviroment for all.

RESTROOMS

All golfing members please use restrooms at the comfort stations located on the front nine as well as the back nine of the golf course. This is necessary as to not disturb any of the many residents that have golf course lots. We appreciate your cooperation.

NO SMOKING

This is a friendly reminder that the entire Clubhouse is a non-smoking establishment. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping the Clubhouse smoke-free.

CHECK IN

Please check in the Golf Shop before you start your round. If there is an emergency we need to know who is on the course. You may call us from your cell phone to check in. This helps us monitor play.
