Do's and Don'ts on the tee box - The rules of golf

[@Weplaygolf]

Did you know all these do's and don'ts?

[@DaBluBarron1918]

The practice shot I didn’t know about. I eat up par 3 boxes before the real shot.

I been searching the internet but cannot find any info to answer this question of mine: the max length tee we can use is 4 inches… this is correct? Are we allowed to use a piece of turf or (virtually anything) to elevate our tee to make it higher off the ground??? So if we wanted our ball to be 5-6 inches off the ground…are we allowed to place our tee (connect) on top of a shorter tee… or on top of a piece of turf or clump of mud or (anything)… would this be legal??? Especially in a tournament play? Great video… Thank You ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️

Incoming drone at 4:07 ;-). Good to know about practise shots, didn't know that tbh!

[@Weplaygolf]

Thanks Xavier!

[@paulgriffiths1566]

I also didn’t know about the practice shot vs practice swing. Thanks, Tom

[@Weplaygolf]

You're welcome Paul!

No such rule

[@nige99]

Absolute rubbish you can hit the ground , also you can lie a club down as long as you remove it before you actually take your shot

[@dddmmm21]

Are there cases one can tee-off with another group still in the same hole but at a safe or should one always wait? And if there are exceptions, is any communication required (I suppose other group will be far and wont see it anyway)... Thanks!

Hi Tom, how to avoid having golfer's elbows? thanks

[@Weplaygolf]

Hi Richard, It depends which arm you are talking about, but I assume that it is your right arm as right handed player? If you hit the ground with a too steep angle of attack before you hit the ball and you are gripping the club too tight, it will have a serious effect on your arm , elbow or wrist! Do you slice a lot ? That means that you are swinging out to in and that could be the reason why you attack the ball with a too steep angle. Mind you, if your arms are soft and your grip is soft, you will have less tension on your muscles and therefore you will get rid of the pain.

[@goforbirdies]

@@Weplaygolf Yes, my right arm. As you said, might be my outside-in swing which causes the pain, and the slice. Really appreciate your reply.

[@papechristophe1]

Interesting video, thanks Tom, I’m just wondering, is it allowed to have a beer on the first tee-box? And on the second? And purely hypothetical, also on the third 😀

[@Weplaygolf]

Yes, if you have a good caddie to drive you home!

[@paulgriffiths1566]

Tom Please demonstrate your method of removing chicken wing to help high handicappers. Thanks Paul

[@Weplaygolf]

Hi Paul, We made a video about fixing the chicken wing. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5muk4mpgaqFeKs

[@paulgriffiths1566]

Thanks, Tom Very informative

[@edg3576]

Also be aware of low flying drones on the tee box :)

[@Weplaygolf]

YES!!! Is that allowed??

[@warriormvp]

Don't lecture us. America invented golf, we know how the rules work.

[@Weplaygolf]

I'm certain that America did not invent golf

[@warriormvp]

We certainly did. President Ben Franklin declared it the national passtime in the late 15th century. You can look that up.

[@stadiondude]

@@warriormvpget a life dude.. US has invented golf about the same as they the invented Whisky .. Yeah no E stuck in there. Get your patriotic moonshine producing rugby imitating star spangled ass back to the drawing board of horrible trolling attempts and call it a day.
