Whilst one can see his words as they appear "on the page", l think we appreciate that Tashy's literary style is a little idiosyncratic, and it usually requires a liberal rather than literal degree of interpretation. I suspect that in his exuberance he probably didn’t phrase things quite as precisely as necessary to satisfy us pedants.
Any hoo - they never could tell the time up there !!
And any hoo more - although l can't remember where i saw it, l thought it was pretty well established that players who think they've looked for 5 min without timing themselves, usually havent got anywhere near?

Because, according to the post I quoted, anyone who breaks a rule is a cheat.
Virtually everyone who plays golf will have broken a rule at some stage
Therefore every golfer is a cheat......

No... we makes errors and mistakes like play a wrong ball or take a double tap on a little chip.
we then follow the rules and apply them accordingly.

How is that proof? Who had a stopwatch on them? And he was walking back from 50 yards further on from where the ball was.

The Rules say you must play your ball
If you play a different ball haven't you broken that rule..?
Ignoring the shenanigans, well played Tashyboy. Like striking golfing gold. Took advantage well and I hope you win the division. I think if anybody looked at themselves with 100% honesty they will have broken a rule. Don't forget, ignorance isn't a defence!

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Flippin eck whats goin off.
No one else lost a ball thats worthy of talking about 😁
Is the op allowed to get popcorn as well.
Just to clear thngs up from a cheats perspective 😘 The time of five mins was not to a second. Coulda been 5.02 😁
However if we can be serious for a moment ( which narrows it down on here ). You cannot find your ball, or so you think,walk towards your provisional and hey presto stumble across said original ball. What would you do. Back in twenty mins after me fish and chips (butty).

I've a 5 min timer on my S3 trolley.
I use it every time I'm in a comp.
Let's look at it another way how would you feel if you had come 2nd with the same score knowing the person who piped you broke the rules?

1. Surely the issue is that the OP said he looked for five minutes. Whether it was a GMT 5 minutes or his own perception is neither here nor there. He said it was five minutes and then he spent longer giving it one final look, thereby taking it over his perception of his 5 minutes. Therefore according to the rules of golf, the ball was lost and he should have played the provisional.
2. Are we all cheats? Have we all at some stage whether in a comp roll up or friendly done something minor to help our game? Only we as golfers know that.
3. The OP was having a blinding round, should we take that away from him? No not really. Life is too short, our mortgages do not depend on it and after all, it's only a game!

So you think anytime someone breaks a rule they are a cheat - I played a wrong ball once , broke the rule - am i a cheat ? Once I picked and placed in an area that wasn't closely mown when I thought it was - does that make me a cheat ?
You sound surprised!
