Carmel Mountain Ranch is closing next month, which is sad. Maybe that explains why when we got to the 14th tee, there were no blue tee markers. What to do? Rule 11-4 says that it's a two stroke penalty to play from outside the teeing ground. Decision 11-4 says that the correct procedure is to discontinue play until the committee resolves the problem. No one was behind us, but holding up play for that sort of thing would not be looked upon kindly in Southern California.
Decision 11-4 also indicates that if the players play from their best estimate of where the teeing ground should be (based on the other tee markers), then there is no penalty, if no advantage is gained. That seems reasonable.
My first thought would be to play from the embedded USGA / SCGA markers, but CMR doesn't have those.
