Teeing from the Green

Originally, golfers teed the ball on the green of the hole they had just completed. This practice was phased out during the 18th century for the very good reason that the greens were being chopped to bits by club heads digging into the turf. Thereafter, players moved to a special teeing area near, but not on the green.

Casual Water

When water accumulates in a place not designated as a water hazard, it is considered "casual water." A player who hits into casual water may lift the ball, clean it and drop it within club length of the affected area, but of course, no closer to the hole. In such situations, no penalty are incurred.

Hit Away from Trouble

Whenever possible aim away from obstacles such as Sand traps, trees and water hazards. For instance, if There is water on the left, then tee up on the left and Drive toward a safe spot on the fairway. This advice May seem obvious, but you'd be surprised how many Golfers fail to heed it.
