More from the outsourcer OBになったら歩いて、すでに特別に指定されたティーのところ(特設ティー)まで行っ
て、そこから打ったボールは4打目ということです。OBじゃなかったら2打目ですが、
4-2=2打はペナルティということです

I think it now means: "Fourth swing from the special tee if your first shot goes out of bounds."
Troy Fowler (asker) Aug 11, 2006:
outsourcers note The outsourcer has explained this phase as thus (I still don't know what they mean though).
プレイング4とは特設ティーで打ったボールは4打目というイミで
す。

どういうことでしょう?迷ってんねんな~。

Zenshin Yonda (also 'Play Four')

Describes when you hit a ball out of bounds from a tee shot, and play on from halfway down the course as if it were your fourth shot.

This is apparently a Japan-only rule.

ティーショットがOBだった時、原則的には一打罰で打ち直しである。それを、どこの誰が始めたのか知らないがフェアウェイの特設ティなるものから打ち直しさせるという、日本独自の田舎ルール。もちろんplaying fourも和製英語。

Playing your 4th shot on a given hole???

Alright, I'm just embarrassing myself here, so this will be my last guess,
but here goes....

On a given hole, you are playing (making) your fourth shot (attempt, swing, whatever....).

Saw your last note after I posted my update. I thinking we're converging on a
consensus (of 2!)

Where are all the golfers out there?!
OK, from reading the last post your outsourcer sent you, I'm beginning to get a hazy recollection that when lose a ball (in the rough, etc.), which I think they're calling OB(out of bounds), you have to take a penalty(as alluded to in the explanation provided by your outsourcer. Hence, (and now I'm back to guessing), your second shot must be played as your fourth! How's that?
BTW, I don't have enough Kudoz to directly converse with you in the "Ask the Asker" form. Ergo, alll these notes.
