Golf Rules Question!!!

[martin00015]

You can also hit a provisional and declare the first ball lost, with or without actually searching for it (unless the rule book I have is outdated.)

If your rule book says that it is at least forty years out of date!

Lets just say for example I hit my tee shot into the woods. To conform to USGA rules, do i take a 1 stroke penalty and play the ball from where it went into the woods or do i take a 1 stroke penalty and rehit the tee shot?

The USGA, in addition to running the U.S. Open, is a great source of rules information
