    I was playing an alt. shot game and a legend was my partner. He took his tee shot and put it in the water. When my  tee shot came up i was hitting from the legend tee's. Just thought I might share that so if your in an alt. shot game, you will know what to expect.

    Hi,

    what course/hole was it? Did you submit a bug report?

    Becasue of the rules of golf are quite complex, a quick search on the R&A website didn't prove fruitful.  However, I did find this elsewhere:

     

    If a White Tee player drives out of bounds, the provisional shot by the other team-member must also be from the White Tee, even though that player would normally hit from Red.  Conversely, if a Red Tee player drives out of bounds, his partner, even if normally a White Tee player, will also hit from the Red.

     

    I didn't think it was wrong having been there myself once, hope that clears up the confusion.

    It was Kiawah no 4. I got metered and it went straight right into some weeds I've never seen before!!

    Can I have my ball back please? I'd also like the one back on the previous game at St Andrews that went out of bounds by about 6 inches on 14??!! I'm sure no one would of minded me picking it up from the next fairway.

    On a plus point we still won the hole.........

    No i did not submit a bug report for it. just thought it was part of the rules. I will next time if it comes up icon. And nice job on that hole nelly. 

    Hey, wait a minute. maybe i will start grabbing hacks as a partner and if they hit it in the water i get to move up to the shorter tees, sweet lol

    It may be, I am not a rule expert just did not encounter it before.

    Think it must be a rule thing. Just happened again on BPB #3 with another meter glitch. Thats a 3 pack of calloways you owe me today WGT.
