Challenge Tour Pro
During a recent 4BBB match my playing partner marked my ball that I had chipped onto the green. He tried to throw it back to me but the ball missed my football style trap and bounced into a water filled penalty area next to the green. Much amusement until one of our opponents said that unless we found it I was out of the hole! He quoted the infamous incident where a pro's manager had to enter a pond to avoid the pro (Poulter from memory) having to take a penalty for a lost ball.
I said that under the new rules you were allowed to substitue a ball whilst playing a hole without penalty, hence not an issue. After a debate we proceeded under this premis but they were not happy.
Was this correct.
