Golf rules are complicated! Thankfully, we have guru. our Guy rules know the front book to get back. Do you have a question? He has all the answers.
I play all year here in Colorado. Come winter, it can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, get a theme on the ground, so I use a rubber rubber like those in the direction. Is it permissible, and if so, is it permissible all year? I like that the ball is always at the same height at the address, and my drives are more stable as a result. – Dean Marraccini, Niwot, Colo.
Dean, it sounds like you want to know where the tire meets the road, with rules.
As long as your rubber tire does not exceed four inches in height, it is completely acceptable to use, regardless of earth conditions. Continue to burn rubber in those shots of tee and you can simply become a trendter.

Another day, I chose a tee that someone had left in the Tee box and continued to use it. My friend told me this was a penalty for using someone else’s equipment. He said that if I wanted to use it, I had to put it in my pocket first to claim it was mine. What is the ruling? – Wade Lindren, via email
It sounds like the deceit of a crazy magician: “I put a theme of someone else in his pocket … Say the magic words – ‘Mine of mine!’ – Get out of my pocket … and – presto! It is legal! ”
Just say, your friend is a wrong glue. The only restriction on the sharing of equipment is about clubs. There is absolutely no problem with the use of someone else’s tee, towel, towels or ball.
(If the local rule with a ball, model of local G-4 rules, is in effect, you can still borrow a ball, as long as the same make-up and pattern as the one you are using.)
Coincidentally using someone else’s clubs is a general penalty of two strokes in the hook game or, in the game of the match, adjusting the match with a one -hole discount, with a maximum of two such penalties in each case. The club must be stated immediately by the game after the player becomes aware of his or her mistake – otherwise, he or she is disqualified using the club.
