O.B.


Question
If you hit your drive O.B. of the tee can you use a tee for the next ball.

Answer
Rule 27 states If a ball is out of bounds, the player must play a ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played (see Rule 20-5).

Rule 20-5 states 20-5. Making Next Stroke from Where Previous Stroke Made

When a player elects or is required to make his next stroke from where a previous stroke was made, he must proceed as follows:

   a. On the Teeing Ground: The ball to be played must be played from within the teeing ground. It may be played from anywhere within the teeing ground and may be teed.

   b. Through the Green: The ball to be played must be dropped and when dropped must first strike a part of the course through the green.

   c. In a Hazard: The ball to be played must be dropped and when dropped must first strike a part of the course in the hazard.

   d. On the Putting Green: The ball to be played must be placed on the putting green.

Penalty for Breach of Rule 20-5:
Match play - Loss of hole; Stroke play - Two strokes.

Under 20-5 a it states that the ball may be teed.

Thanks for the question and carry a USGA rule book in your bag.
