The teeing ground is only two club lengths in depth. See definition of 'teeing ground'.
In
Strokeplay, if you tee outside the teeing ground it is a two stroke penalty. And then you must play the ball from the correct place. Rule 11-4b
In
Matchplay, there is no penalty but your opponent may ask you to tee again. And almost certainly will do if you hit a good one. Rule 11-4a
