My foursome usually likes to play the tees that are around 6100 yards for 18 holes. But sometimes we play at a course where there is a 220 yard par three or maybe a 190 yard forced carry off the tee, and one member can’t make that green in one shot or can’t hit his driver far enough to make the forced carry. However, he keeps up with us because although not long, he is accurate and has a good short game. Is it acceptable for the foursome to agree to play from a closer set of tees just for that hole? More generally, can a foursome agree to play some holes from the white tees and some from the gold?

This happened to a golf partner of mine a couple of years ago. After driving his ball down the left side of the fairway towards an oak tree, he walked to his ball. Coming up towards him from the adjacent fairway was a player looking for his ball which he had pulled right onto our fairway. There were two balls in the rough, one either side of the oak tree. They were both playing the same ball, a titleist 3,so they could not tell which ball was theirs. What is the ruling here?

Just a comment on the answer to the question about ball moving on the putting green. If you are deemed to have moved the ball then that must be considered a stroke so then why replace it? If you hit the ball off the tee with a driver then you are deemed to have moved the ball slso.
