OBS

"Tertre de départ du premier trou" est le terme correspondant mais il est peu usité. Dans la pratique, là où l'anglophone dira "I'll get to the tee-off" ou "I'll get a tee-off time", le francophone, s'il ne commet pas l'anglicisme d'utiliser "tee-off", dira plutôt : "Je me rends au départ" ou "Je prends une heure de départ".
