In stroke play, “A” and “B” hit their tee shots in the same general area. “A” found a ball and played it. “B” was unable to find his ball, so he started back to the tee to play again. He found “A’s” ball and knew “A” had played “B’s” ball.
What is the ruling?


Rule 15-3b states:

“A” incurred a penalty of two strokes for playing a wrong ball and must then play his own ball. “A’s” ball was not lost, even if the five minute time limitation for searching was over, since the search for “A’s” ball had never begun. On the other hand, “B” began his search for his ball as soon as he began to look for it. If less than five minutes had elapsed before “B” found “A’s” ball, “B” should have placed a ball on the spot from which “A” had wrongly played “B’s” ball and continued play, without penalty – see last paragraph of Rule 15-3. However, if five minutes expired, “B’s” original ball was lost and he was obliged to put another ball into play under penalty of stroke and distance (Rule 27-1).

RULES TIP

You are playing a match and hit your second shot into the woods. You want to play a provisional, but you are not sure what the order of play should be.
Do you play before your opponent?

Rule 10-1b (Order of Play During Play of Hole) states:

After both players have started play of the hole, the ball farther from the hole is played first. If the balls are equidistant from the hole or their positions relative to the hole are not determinable, the ball to be played first should be decided by lot.

Note: When it becomes known that the original ball is not to be played as it lies and the player is required to play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played (see Rule 20-5), the order of play is determined by the spot from which the previous stroke was made. When a ball may be played from a spot other than where the previous stroke was made, the order of play is determined by the position where the original ball came to rest.

Under Rule 10-1c (Playing Out of Turn):

If a player plays when his opponent should have played, there is no penalty, but the opponent may immediately require the player to cancel the stroke so made and, in correct order, play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played (See Rule 20-5) “Allowing” the player to play before you assumes you are OK with his actions and

you cannot make him replay the shot.

You have determined that your ball is unplayable and drop your ball. You drop in another lie that is also unplayable. What do you do now?

Rule 20-4 (When Ball Dropped or Placed Is in Play) states:

If the player’s ball in play has been lifted,

it is again in play when dropped or placed.
A substituted ball becomes the ball in play

when it has been dropped or placed.

Under Rule 28 (Ball Unplayable):

The player may deem his ball unplayable at any place on the course,

except when the ball is in a water hazard.

The player is the sole judge as to whether his ball is unplayable.
If the player deems his ball to be unplayable, he must,

under penalty of one stroke:

a. Play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from

which the original ball was last played (see Rule 20-5); or

b. Drop a ball behind the point where the ball lay,

keeping that point directly between the hole

and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit

to how far behind that point the ball may be dropped; or

c. Drop a ball within two club-lengths of the spot

where the ball lay, but not nearer the hole.

Rule 20-2c (When to Re-Drop) refers to situations where

another drop is allowed without penalty. In this case,

if the ball was dropped outside of the two club length maximum

or closer to the hole, the player would be allowed to re-drop.

However, the fact that the player dropped into the same

or similar unplayable position does not allow a re-drop

unless Rule 20-2c applies or by invoking

the unplayable ball Rule 28 again, with a penalty stroke.
