E-11 Ball Deflected by Power Line
A player plays his tee shot there is nothing to make hit or another player believe he has hit a power line (i.e. known or virtually certain).
When the player gets to his ball.
1.There is now reasonable belief but still not not known to be certain that the player hit the power line (I am not concerned with other possible reasons for the question). Must the player return to the tee to hit another shot or is that now out of the question as (a) it is not known or certain or (b) the player should have made the decision from the tee.
2. It is now known and certain, because of the type of mark on the ball, that the player hit the wire. Must the player return to the tee and it again.
