If you are playing a stableford competition you would just wait for your group to finish the hole and then go to the next tee. However, if you are playing a stroke competition you must return to the tee, unless you have already played a provisional from the tee. If you didn't play a provisional and do not go back to the tee you shall have an NR non returned score.

What rule governs teeing after lost ball?
Rules state that a lost ball costs you stroke and distance. In other words you add one to your score and go back to where you played the shot originally. If you hit a poor shot and think you may have lost your ball, most golfers will hit what is called a provisional. This means your provisional shot is in play if you can't find the first one you hit. This saves time and removes the necessity of returning to where you hit your shot originally. If you find your original shot you disregard the provisional ball. One addendum, on public courses in casual play, if no provisional ball was hit, most golfers will drop a ball near the spot they lost their ball, add a stroke and play on. Going back to the original spot and replaying your shot is time consuming and not really practical on a crowded golf course.

In golf how many strokes are you penalised for a lost ball?
If your ball is lost outside of a water hazard the penalty is stroke and distance. Return to the place that you last played from, drop (or tee, if it was a tee shot) and play from there. Count the shot that led to the lost ball and add one more, and count the replay. Many beer leagues play drop it somewhere in the neighborhood of where the ball probably ended up, add a penalty stroke, and play on. Not USGA sanctioned, but on a public course where you have to get done before sunset it's a good way to keep the game moving.

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.

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.
