Q My friend
Ross drove his
ball into some
sand a worker
was towing to
another hole,
but we didn’t
know this until
the worker later
found the ball
(marked “Ross”)
and brought it to
us. What’s the
ruling?
paul fenton
chicago
A If Ross’ ball
turned up within
three minutes of
his drive, he would
estimate where
it had landed
in the cart and
drop within one
club-length, no
closer to the hole,
without penalty
(see Exception 1 to
Rule 11.1b). But if
he had already de-
termined the ball
was lost and had
re-hit from the tee
box, he’s now lying
three and there’s
no turning back
(see Rule 14.6).
