If the ball so placed rolls from the mat, it may be replaced without penalty. If it still fails to remain on the mat, the mat must be moved to the nearest spot, no nearer the hole, where the ball will remain at rest. There is no penalty should the ball move or be moved after being placed on the mat and before making a stroke, including when addressing the ball or making a practice swing. Should a tee peg be used to secure the mat the ball must not be placed on the tee peg. If the player uses a putter in the general area cut to fairway height or less, the ball must not be placed on the mat. On all par 3 holes the use of a mat when playing the tee shot is compulsory.
