Linda,
My question is, "Can a player use a tee found on a tee box that is discarded by another player for his tee shot, assuming it is a conforming tee?" Follow-up is, "Can a player use an object left on a tee box (not a club) such as a laser device for the remainder of the round?" (Forget ethical component for now).
Keep up the good work.

Dear Lou,
The answer to both your questions is yes. Other than golf clubs, you may use anything you find on the golf course during your round, including abandoned golf balls, discarded tees, towels, ball markers, and even another player’s lost rangefinder. I would expect that you would ask other golfers you encounter during your round whether the rangefinder belongs to them, notify a passing ranger to make inquiries, and turn it in at the pro shop at the end of your round.
Linda
