You may only tee the ball up when you are on the teeing area, hitting a tee shot. This is usually once per hole for each hole. However, if you hit a ball out of bounds you must hit another shot from where you hit the previous shot from, so you may tee the ball up. Also, if you hit a tee shot and can't find the ball you must go back to the tee and you can again tee it up.
false you have to tee up behind the markers
Teeing up.
Yes, you are allowed to do this.
You should tee the ball up so half the ball is above the club face.
Assuming you are talking about the driver, you tee the ball up with roughly half the ball above the crown, the ball should also be lined up with the arrow or logo on the crown, this is where the sweet spot is. When you swing the club and hit the ball with an ascending blow, the ball will be hit in the sweet spot.
After you have hit your tee shot, the next time you can tee up a ball is the next hole, unless you need to hit a provisional tee shot.
You have to use a tee which has been approved for play by the R&A and USGA. So you couldn't tee it up on a beer can. If you use a tee approved for play you can do it up as high or as low as you want.
Your second tee shot will be your third stroke. So it takes you 3 strokes to get of the tee blocks, hence the saying "3 off the tee"
There is two options open to you, they each cost you a penalty stroke. You can replay the ball from the tee (which will be your 3rd shot), or you can take a drop. To take the drop, you can go back as far as you want, keep the point where the ball entered the hazard between you and the flag and drop the ball (the next shot will also be your 3rd). As it is a water hazard, you do not need to get the ball, as long as you saw the ball enter the hazard, you are allowed to play another ball.
I like to stand the ball up almost straight. It helps me get under it, especially on a low tee.
If it is the tee shot and this happens, there is no penalty and you can simply replace the ball, and you are still hitting your first shot. If it is a putt or pitch or an approach and you hit the ball accidentally there is a one shot penalty and the ball must be replaced. If it is not replaced and you finish out the hole you will be disqualified for not replacing the ball.
Yes. The ball has to between the markers and up to two club lengths behind. The player can stand anywhere.
