We are told you have 3 minutes to find your ball.
A player plays off the tee into long rough on the right. He takes a provisional as it is medal play and put his ball in the same area.
Question: Does he get 3 mins or 6 mins to find his balls.
the players at our club said 3 mins!
then i proposed this scenario .
If his first ball goes right into the rough, and has provisional goes left into the rough. does he get 3 mis for the first ball and then a further 3 mins for the second Ball?
all looked at each other? so what is the answer, rule wise, ethically, and if your on the tee behind what would you say![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
