Right, I'm reading the latest Golf Monthly, specifically the section "Know the Rules". Lost ball: "You cannot render the original ball lost be declaration". I thought that was EXACTLY what you had to do!
It goes on, stating that "I'll declare the original ball lost" is meaningless. What could be more meaningful in the situation?
The font of all wisdom on these matters, as far as I am concerned, is the late Peter Dobreiner's "Golf Rules Explained" and covering the lost ball from the tee, he tells us "You must formally abandon it and put another into play".
Is that not rendering it lost by declaration? Some clarity please?
