Played a medal last week. Hit a drive on the eight that looked out of bounds, however, it 'opens up' a bit where i hit it, so it was possibly still in play. Played a provisional, but played it with an iron cos I disnt want a cricket score.
My question is, as the original tee shot went a lot further than my second tee shot, would I have to walk the extra yards to check if my original ball was in play before going back to my provo ball, or could i play my provo ball before looking for my original tee shot? (It wasnt in, and i took a nine in the end!)
You can play your prov ball until you get to where the first one was, even if it was a few shots. If you then find your first one then you carry on with that...your second shot.
