Best Answer

You take a free drop, one club length from the nearest point of relief, which would be the edge of the green no nearer the hole.

Only if it is in the fairway or any other closely mown area. You get to drop it nearest point of relief. If the ball plugs in the rough you have to play it as it lies.

What happens if you are about to tee off from the wrong place and someone tells you?

If this happens, you pick up your ball and tee it up on the proper tee box, no penalty. However, if you or anyone in your group tee'd off from the wrong place they receive a two shot penalty and must correct their mistake (by teeing off from the proper tee box) before they commence the next hole. If they do not fix their mistake they are DQ'd.


Did Tiger throw his club in the sand when he won two weeks ago Why no penalty?

Under normal circumstances, with your ball in the sand, if you touch the sand with your club and are not in the process of making a stoke (the downward motion of the club with the intention of hitting the ball) you incur a penalty for testing the sand. But since Tiger's ball was NOT in the sand when his club hit the sand he was not penalized. I think...please correct me if I'm wrong.
