Rules Guy: If I play from the wrong tees, can I correct the mistake without penalty?

According to golf rules, teeing off from an incorrect position during match play results in a two-stroke penalty for the offending player. However, a new clarification issued by the Rules Guy states that players who recognize the error before making their stroke may correct it without penalty. The correction must be made before the player leaves the teeing ground, and the corrected tee shot must be played from the correct teeing ground. This clarification aligns with the overall principle of fairness in the game of golf, ensuring that inadvertent errors do not have excessive consequences.
