On my course there is a wooded area approximately 80 meters long on 20 meters wide that runs down the left of our 17th. On the other side of the wooded area is our 16th and then oob.
My playing partner rattled his driver clean left like an exocet missile into the wooded area. The was no noise and no indication it had hit a tree. I said "you better reload mate because that's probably gone clean through the penalty area, over the 16th and into the farmers field". He said he's gonna take a drop from the wooded area (where its red staked) as he saw where it crossed.
Can someone tell me what rules covers this situation please. I know he can't do that I just don't know the rule
