A question from a recent game. A player plays his ball down the fairway
into the semi rough, and walks down to the area his ball is likely to be, and
finds a strange ball in that area. By definition his ball is lost after a 5
minute search. Feeling aggrieved because the ball is lost and stroke and
distance applies he also believes another player has played his ball, what are
his options?
If his group are virtually certain another player was seen to play from
that area, he may place another ball where his ball was played from and continue
without penalty, however with a ball in the “rough” this option can be
tenuous because there is a strong possibility his ball may still be in the
area, laying in the rough and not identified. Sheriff
