Fairway.
The fairway is the area up the centre of the hole which follows the line of the hole, it is closely mown.
The three main ones are the tee, fairway and green.
No, the rules of a long drive contest are first ball and it must come to rest in the fairway.
No, the ball you start the hole with is the hole you finish the hole with - unless of course you lose it.
If you mean the small peg you stand your ball on before you wack it down the fairway, it's called a tee.
Well, hitting out of bounds is a one shot penalty and you hit the next one from the same place. If you hit 3 off the tee OB, then the next one would be 5 off the tee and 6 from the fairway or rough etc.
You do need to T-off and it's only when you first start. The first stroke on each hole is done from the Tee (officially, teeing ground), where the player can use a tee (a small wooden or plastic peg) to put his ball on, which makes the tee shot easier. After teeing off, a player hits the ball again from the position at which it came to rest, either from the fairway (where the grass is cut so low that most balls can be easily played) or from the rough (grass cut much longer than fairway grass, or which may be uncut) towards the putting green.
A 3 wood can be used from the fairway or from the tee. It depends how far you hit the ball on when you would use it. You could use it from the tee because it doesn't go as far as the driver, and it is easier to control. You could use it from the fairway on long par 4's or par 5's. Some people use it to chip with, but you should perfect this shot before you try it.
Yes, it doesn't matter who's ball you use. The only time it matters is if you hit their ball from the fairway.
The rough is the area on the golf course either side of the fairway around the greens and tee boxes where the grass is slightly and sometimes a lot longer.
The penalty for hitting out of bounds is one shot, and you need to play another shot from where you played the original, so effectively it is two.If you hit you tee shot, 1st shot, out of bounds, add one stroke penalty, 2nd shot, them you are playing 3 off the tee, and therefore 4 from the fairway or rough.
