Was playing in a medal, but my tee shot, right hand side of the fairway/semi rough, so far so good. I walk up and see a ball, it’s a TaylorMade but not mine, I ask the group from the hole close (not part of the medal) what he is playing? He says TaylorMade project a, I mention he has just hit my ball (tp5), he doesn’t return the ball and continues on (he had already hit his second) I am now in a situation where I can’t actually play my ball, because someone not in the medal played it. Both balls where in the semi rough. I was given a 2 stroke penalty.
He did return it two holes later but the damage was done.
What would the rule here be? Just curious as I’m not really up to scratch on rules of golf, felt like I was being punished because of someone else’s mistake, that I had no control over.
