A ball still in the teeing area can be lifted, moved, and re-teed under this Rule.

Plain-language guide · Rule 6.2b. Use the current official text and your round’s Local Rules for a ruling.

What to know

A deliberate stroke counts even if the ball only moves a short way. If it remains inside, you may re-tee for your next stroke.

On the course

After an attempted first shot barely knocks the ball off the tee, check its position before proceeding.
