Penalty Stroke - If a golf ball lands in water; rests in a lie where it cannot be played; is lost; or goes out-of-bounds; a one stroke penalty is incurred by the golfer. The golfer must replay another ball near the original spot where the ball was hit or near to where the ball was lost or went out of play.
Tee - The small stick used to hold the ball off the ground on drives, used only in the tee box, the area at the start of each hole where play starts.
Water Hazard - A pond or stream. If a ball lands in water and is unable to be played, the golfer takes a penalty stroke.
