Teeing ground

Encyclopedia : T : TE : TEE : Teeing ground

In golf, the teeing ground is the area at the beginning of a hole from which the player's first stroke is taken. When referring to the area, the terms "tee" and "teeing ground" are often used interchangeably.

The boundaries of the teeing ground are defined by a pair of tee markers. The front, left and right sides of the tee are denoted by the outer edges of the tee markers, assuming the perspective of a player standing in the teeing ground and facing the hole. The teeing ground is two club-lengths in depth.

The surface of the teeing ground is generally grass, cut short to allow the least possible interference with the ball's lie, although the Rules do not specify that the teeing ground must be surfaced with grass nor the height at which it is cut.
