Par three. 200 yards. Lake right next to the green. You hit your tee shot and it lands Ten feet away from the pin and about 20 feet from the water. Your playing partner hits next. His tee shot hits your ball on the fly and knocks it into the lake. What next?

Smack him with your 3 iron, take one of his ProV1s, replace the ball and putt for birdie?

Leave the course, you're having a bad karma day, better to call it a day than temp the fates further

I believe you get to replace the ball where it lay without penalty??? If his ball went into the lake as well, he must take a penalty stroke and drop according to the normal rules for a water hazard.

I'd go play the lottery. With that kind of luck you might be due for a complete 180* turn around

You replace your ball as close as you can to its original spot before it got hit (should be easy, if it was on a green there will probably be some sort of mark). You play from there with no penalty.

Your playing partner plays from where ever his ball ended up. If it's in the hole it's a hole-in-one, if it goes in the water or OB he takes the penaltys, if it stays on the green he putts from there.

What StLCardsFan said. Hopefully, you have another ball in your bag.

He also has to replace my ball with one of equal value according to an obscure rule which states: "If you don't, I'll kick your ball into the water."

Johneli, did this actually happen or do you have wayyyy too much time on your hands and are thinking this kind of thing up????? And besides, this is the kinda thing that happens only to me. Will

With that in mind, it begs another question...

What if your ball in an official tournament is lost by an outside agency and you get a free replacement like the example here, and you don't have another ball the same make and model and neither does your playing partner? Maybe it is on the last hole and you are on your last ball. Would that be a DQ? Or would there be a special consideration because of the circumstances?

You can obtain more balls as long as it does not unduly delay play.

Was watching Tiger yesterday and Rich Beem didn't move his ball when Paddy chipped up. Just missed his ball. I thought about his ball going into the lake if Paddy had hit it....that's where the scenario came from.....and yes....I do have a lot of time on my hands....but I know how to use it to it's maximum recreational value!

[Avaindimik]

good post very entertaining also good ans. if it were to happen.love the 3 iron shot by bonknhead.

This almost exact thing happened on the Canadian tour 2 or so weeks ago. Your partner plays his/her ball from where ever it came to rest after striking your ball. Your ball gets replaced (as close as possible) to it's resting spot after you hit it.

YouTube - Shot of the Day: Leif Olson's crazy ace wins him a new car!

Notice in the video the moved ball was replaced. While Olson took home a new car!
