Have you ever wanted to move the tee markers because they don't line up, too close together, seem to be pointing in the wrong direction or some similar reason?

Question 1:
In league competition (Match Play), a player notices that tee markers appear to be aimed in the wrong direction, so they move one to
align it with the other and then tee off. What is the ruling?

a) They have straightened the tee markers for the benefit of all following competitors, so there is no penalty.
b) They incur a penalty of two strokes.
c) They lose the hole.

Question 2:

In league competition (Match Play), a player's ball comes to rest against a tee marker on a different hole to the one that they are playing.
What is the ruling?

a) The player may move the tee marker to make their stroke.
b) The player may not move the tee marker and is not permitted to take relief without penalty, so they must play their ball as it lies.
c) In the Rules of Golf the status of a tee marker is 'fixed', so the player may drop away from it, without penalty.
