A little one to work the mind on rules.

Give us more time on this. My brain is hurting but I will continue to try and work it out.
The thing that niggles is that having picked up the prov. ball he does not have a ball in play and he cannot play a ball from where the 'last' stroke was played.

Yes he must go back to the tee as he does not have a ball in play.

I'm no rules expert, but I asked on here a while ago about picking up a provisional after a wrong ball had been played, and the general consensus was that it should be dropped as near as possible to where it originally was, under penalty of 1 shot for moving the ball in play.

Would that not apply in this case, or were we wrong before?

 

[daymond]

Ah. How about:-
off the tee 1 shot
Wrong ball 2 shots
Picking up prov. 2 shots
Tee shot wrong ball 2 shots
Playing replaced Prov. 1 shot

Total 8 shots.

If you play another ball then the Provo ball is declared not to be in play anymore as you have played your original ball or so you have thought. If you then find out you have played an incorrect ball and your first was indeed lost then you can play your provissional as long as you have not picked it up declaring the ball not in play anymore.

1 - tee shot
2/3 - 2 shot penalty for playing wrong ball
4/5 - 2 shot general penalty under rule 18 for not replacing ball
so his next shot from the tee is his 6th.

 

[coolhand]

9 off the tee

1 Tee Shot
2 & 3 Penalty for Wrong Ball
4 Lost ball
5 and 6 Moving Provo
7 and 8 Wrong place
9 2nd Tee Shot

Intresting discovery when working this out if you play from teh worng place it's 2 stokes but carry on unless it's considered you gained a significant advanatage at which point it's DQ.

Playing 1 of the tee ....hes a mate ad its only a social round

But he owes me a pint

Please tell us I am LTWTL now

I think you're right Gary.

Tee shot(1), second shot(2), 2 shot penalty (wrong ball)(4), 2 shot penalty (lost ball)(6) 1 shot penalty for picking up a provisional(7), would be playing 8 from where his provisional should be.... OR 10th if he then went back to the tee with it... I think

 

[G1BB0]

if I was 10 off the tee I would promptly f off home

 

[MadAdey]

if I was 10 off the tee I would promptly f off home

I think the point of the story is make sure you play the correct ball.....

 

[JustOne]

Yeh actually I think it's 9.... it should be stroke and distance for the lost ball not 2 shot penalty

Tee shot(1), second shot(2), 2 shot penalty (wrong ball)(4), 1 shot (S&D) penalty (lost ball)(5) 1 shot penalty for picking up a provisional(6), would be playing 7 from where his provisional should be.... OR 9th if he then went back to the tee with it... I think... who cares it's an NR !!!!

 

[MadAdey]

A few people are more or less correct on this now. I sent Don a text to re-explain this exactly to me so I can put up his official ruling on it. Not heard back yet so I do hope I explain it correctly.
