Hi All
I was having a social game today playing fbbb. My playing partner knocked his tee shot into the trees and was very closely OB. He asked me to check and I said I thought it was OB, although clearly he didn't think this was the case. Someone from the other team came over and although he seemed to think it was OB, he told him to carry on - it was only a friendly knock afterall and not worth arguing.
The problem was that because one of the conifer's was a bit overgrown you couldn't see one white stake from the other, so it was difficult to pinpoint.
Anyway it got me thinking. What would the procedure in a match/comp be if there was a dispute for a ball being OB, whereby the player thought it was in and the opponent/competitor thought it was out?
