If you play from the wrong teeing area, in strokeplay, there is a two shot penalty, but you must correct your mistake before playing a stroke from the next teeing ground. All strokes taken up to this point don't count, so it is essentially 3 off the tee. If you fail to correct your mistake you are disqualified.

It is very different however in matchplay, if a stroke is taken from the wrong teeing ground, your opponent may simply ask you to cancel that stroke and replay the shot from the correct tee.

These rules apply for teeing from outside the teeing ground also.

The rules state, in matchplay, there is no penalty but your opponent may immediately ask you to replay the stroke from the teeing ground. In strokeplay, there is a two stroke penalty and the previous shot must be cancelled, with another ball being put in play. However if the player fails to correct his mistake before he completes that hole, he is disqualified.

Your opponent can ask you to cancel that stroke and play another stroke from the proper tee box. There is no instant loss of hole like there is in other rules violations.

You must re-tee the Golf ball in the correct tee off point and take a one stroke penalty so you'll be hitting your third shot off the tee.

You've caused the ball to move while in play, without taking a stroke. There is a penalty of one stroke, and the ball is replaced.

If you are in general play i.e not a competition you can do this. But, if you are in a competition there would the lady would receive a two shot penalty for teeing off from outside the teeing area.
