15-3 . Wrong Ball

b . Stroke Play

If a competitor makes a stroke or strokes at a wrong ball , he incurs a penalty of two strokes .

The competitor must correct his mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules . If he fails to correct his mistake before making a stroke on the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the round, fails to declare his intention to correct his mistake before leaving the putting green , he is disqualified .

Strokes made by a competitor with a wrong ball do not count in his score. If the wrong ball belongs to another competitor , its owner must place a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played.

(Placing and Replacing – see Rule 20-3 )

20-3 . Placing And Replacing

b . Lie of Ball to be Placed or Replaced Altered

If the original lie of a ball to be placed or replaced has been altered:

(i) except in a hazard , the ball must be placed in the nearest lie most similar to the original lie that is not more than one club-length from the original lie, not nearer the hole and not in a hazard

c . Spot Not Determinable

If it is impossible to determine the spot where the ball is to be placed or replaced:

(i) through the green , the ball must be dropped as near as possible to the place where it lay but not in a hazard or on a putting green ;

The rule is pretty clear. I don't know why you have a question.

If they dropped, they did so because they couldn't determine the exact spot. There were probably lots of divot holes in the area, and they walked 300+ yards down and back to try to figure it out.

Because if they didn't drop in the exact spot someone would have called the USGA to report them :-P

Is it always safer to drop rather than place the ball in this situation, or could an opponent/official say that it was not impossible to determine the spot the ball should have been placed and assess a penalty for dropping rather than placing?

An opponent wouldn't be  questioning whether you should replace or drop after you played a wrong ball.  He would be pointing out that you had just lost the hole.  In the case of Mahan and Donaldson, had they been opponents, the one who played the wrong ball first would have lost the hole.

In stroke play, given the advantage of placing a ball rather than dropping it, I wouldn't be looking to question a player who dropped rather than replaced because he was uncertain about where the exact spot was.

The decision is made based on what is "safer".  Safer is to follow the rules, and if the spot isn't determinable, then you drop.  In this case, I'm a bit surprised that they felt that the correct spot was not identifiable.  The pros would always prefer to place the ball rather than drop so if there was any chance at all to place the ball, I'm certain that they would have done so.  I didn't see the incident, so I'm just working on limited data here, but was a rules official brought in to help?  If so, and if they followed his instructions, then they are absolved of any wrongdoing.  If not, then they may be penalized even now if it's shown that they could have proceeded correctly by placing the balls.  If no penalty is forthcoming, then we will have to assume that whatever they did, it was considered correct.

For most of us, walking back that far it would have been unusual to be able to find the exact spot again, but I don't think that is necessarily true for the pros.  They are so analytical in their play that they could almost walk the course after the round and find every spot they played from.

At the US Open, every group has a walking referee accompanying them to assist the group with the Rules and prevent breaches.  Obviously, it was the referee who concluded the ball(s) must be dropped rather than placed (because the exact spot or precise lie was not known sufficiently).

On my quoted post, the first sentence should have read "The decision is not made based on what is "safer"".  My error - too late to edit it.

I agree with 4 Putt that the Pros typically have a very good idea of where they hit from (as the caddie likely paces off their yardage from the nearest sprinkler).  In this case, I know they replayed the shot of Mahan playing the wrong ball on TV (not a close up), so that may have been used to help determine the correct spot.  My point is, that if pros playing on TV in the US Open find it impossible to locate the correct spot to place, when would regular golfers be able to do so?

An opponent wouldn't be  questioning whether you should replace or drop after you played a wrong ball.  He would be pointing out that you had just lost the hole.  In the case of Mahan and Donaldson, had they been opponents, the one who played the wrong ball first would have lost the hole.

In stroke play, given the advantage of placing a ball rather than dropping it, I wouldn't be looking to question a player who dropped rather than replaced because he was uncertain about where the exact spot was.

Should have said competitor, not opponent.  My bad.

The pros would always prefer to place the ball rather than drop so if there was any chance at all to place the ball, I'm certain that they would have done so.

While it is generally preferable to place rather than drop, I can think of some instances where I would prefer to drop and take my chances-

1.  My original ball was sitting in a divot, but the guy who hit it isn't sure which divot it was sitting in as there are 4 grouped near each other.

2.  My ball was sitting down in rough inches off the fairway.  There are two divots in line with each other, one 1 yard closer to the hole than the other and we are not sure which one was caused by my opponent.

3.  My right handed competitor who hit my ball isn't sure which tree he played next to, but knows that a lefty wouldn't have had any swing.

Where is the correct drop location in the above 3 instances?  AKA, what spot is "as near as possible" to the original spot when you believe there to be several possible original spots?

a.  between the spots in question

b.  as near as possible to the spot farthest from the hole

c.  as near as possible to the spot most likely to be yours (this spot my not be determinable with much certainty depending on info available)

d.  somewhere else

In #2 above, suppose there was only 1 divot and you are 100% certain that the ball was located towards the middle of that divot as the competitor who played it hit it a bit fat.  The original lie has been altered so you would need to place the ball SITING DOWN in a similar lie as near as possible to the divot- correct?

Asked and answered.

If you hit a shot and are standing there ten feet away from your divot and your opponent says "Hey you hit my ball" the spot is pretty easy to determine. There are instances where the spot can be precisely known.

The spot - after they walked 300+ yards to the green and back - was not easily determined at the U.S. Open, so they dropped. There may have been several divot holes in the area, and since they couldn't be virtually certain, they dropped.

Assuming that there were several divot holes in the approximate area where each of them hit from, where did they in fact drop (or where would it have been correct for them to drop)?

a.  between the divots in question

b.  as near as possible to the divot farthest from the hole (or slightly behind as they are pros and didn't appear to hit the wrong ball fat)

c.  as near as possible to the divot most likely to be theirs (or slightly behind as they are pros and didn't appear to hit the wrong ball fat)

d.  somewhere else

Seriously? Tell you what: call them, ask them, and report back.

I didn't even see this on the coverage. They probably dropped as near as possible to the area in which they think they hit their shots. In other words, they probably followed the rule as it's clearly written .

This is all covered in the rule . Just read it. It's not that complicated.

Not sure where the confusion is here. Do you think they did the wrong thing? Are you just curious if this ever happens to you?

He's just doing what he always does, worrying the situation to death.  I'm assuming that they determined the correct spot as nearly as possible, made their drops as instructed by the referee with the group, then played on.

Not sure where the confusion is here...Are you just curious if this ever happens to you?

Yes.  What I am trying to figure out is what the ROG considers to be "as near as possible to the place where it lay" when you have identified more than one possible location (i.e. multiple divots which could have been the actual location of your ball).  It seems to me that you can try to drop as close as possible to 1 of the divots OR in between the divots in question, but not both.  These are different drop locations, so which one is correct?

He's just doing what he always does, worrying the situation to death.  I'm assuming that they determined the correct spot as nearly as possible, made their drops as instructed by the referee with the group, then played on.

Suppose I need to determine the correct spot and don't have a referee with my group. How do I determine the correct spot when there are several possibilities? Is there a USGA approved method or does any reasonable method qualify.  i.e. would it be ok for player A to drop at the divot closest to the hole, player B to drop at the divot farthest from the hole and player C to drop between those divots?  Does the answer change if we are talking about trees instead of divots?

It seems to me that the ROG are very precise in many instances (i.e. there is only 1 acceptable nearest point of relief location which can be clearly explained with a diagram), so I don't understand why I get criticized when I try to have a complete understanding of how the USGA wants us to determine the correct spot in this situation.  If you think I am being daft, draw a diagram that will help me to understand.  To keep it simple, include 2 divots/trees (A & B, 1 to 5 yards apart) which could have been the location of the ball and show the correct drop spot.

The decision is made based on what is "safer".  Safer is to follow the rules... was a rules official brought in to help?  If so, and if they followed his instructions, then they are absolved of any wrongdoing.  If not, then they may be penalized even now if it's shown that they could have proceeded correctly by placing the balls.  If no penalty is forthcoming, then we will have to assume that whatever they did, it was considered correct.

For most of us, walking back that far it would have been unusual to be able to find the exact spot again, but I don't think that is necessarily true for the pros.

Seems like it is good to know the rules as precisely as possible- Sorry if you think I am worrying about them too much.

You make your best, honest estimate.  If it's reasonable, you get input from your fellow competitors.  That is all you can do.   It's very similar to determining the point where a ball last crossed into a hazard.  When the ball is 100 feet in the air and curving when it crosses, you have no choice but to make your best estimate.  The rules allow for that.

If there is no one correct, known spot, you do your best to estimate, considering what others might say, and that's all you can do. There are never "two correct spots" or "multiple possibilities," because if there are "multiple possibilities" then the spot is not known, so you must drop per the rules.

Again, it's all stated in the rules, and fairly clearly at that.

You should participate in other threads. You've continued to show no interest in reading the Principles document that we requested you read, and you continue to drag on rules discussions with things you should be able to figure out just by reading the rules.

Yes, I think we had a similar discussion with a hazard also.  I understand the part about an honest estimate, but being good at math, I would like to know what you are suppose to do when there are 2 spots that are equally likely- pick 1 or pick an average?

In this situation, they must have felt there was more than 1 possible location (possibly because of multiple divots being present) or a range of locations.  Did the referee have them drop as close as possible to 1 specific divot or in the middle of the range?  The answer to this question might shed some light on what the rest of us should be doing.

Without clarification from the governing bodies, it seems that different players "best, honest estimate" may be point A (closer to the hole), point B (farther from the hole) or an average of the two.  While it doesn't make much of a difference if we are talking about a few yards from the fairway, it could be a big difference if a ball was stymied against a tree, but nobody knows if it was tree A or tree B (or in the case of a hazard where points A & B are a long distance apart).

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
