It’s alternate shots so Player A’s drive must be hit by Player B or vice versa.

Both players drive. Both balls land in roughly the same location. The pair decide to play the ball driven by player A. Player B then mistakenly plays his own ball. I know that it’s a two stroke penalty, but who plays which ball next? I think that player B should play player A’s ball as...

All your assumptions are correct. That clarifies things nicely. Thank you.

Medal round. Player hits tee shot into trouble. Plays a provisional ball from the tee. Original ball is “found” so the player picks up the provisional ball and continues with what he thinks is the original ball. After three further shots the player marks his ball on the green and, on picking it...

In a stroke play round Player A chips onto the green and then returns to his bag to collect his putter. Unbeknown to Player A, and without informing him, Player B marks Player A’s ball to enable Player B to play. Player A’s ball is dropped on the green a few feet away. Player B puts out. Player...

No we don’t play qualifiers in the winter.

Thanks

so if the ball is right up against the trunk (and no shot sideways or otherwise, can be taken). if the 6 inches makes a sideways shot reasonable and the ball is still in the ACC is free relief availabl?

At our course we have winter rules that allow preferred lies in the rough. A players ball lands behind a tree, the ball is lying in ground that an animal has been scratching at. The position of the ball is such that a shot towards the green is impossible so no free relief when clearly...

Sorry missed the first bit, I assume so.

It’s reasonable and, on balance, will probably be at least as accurate an indicator as looking between 2 posts 30 yards apart.

The former.

Two fairways adjacent to each other. There are no white stakes, ditches or walls to denote OOB but the card states that if a ball lands on the wrong fairway it is OOB. Is this OK?

I was the OP on that thread ,it was an interesting ride!
