Rule/Procedure for lost ball (in rough)

[Maverick]

Had to invoke the damn rule today and I'm still pissed.

I'd say that lying 4 would be the best call here since you did not see the ball land..it sounded blind from your description. Now if it was on of those shots where you saw it land..off the fringe..and for some dang reason it's just not there..maybe a squirrel took it..got plugged deep..then that's a different story..

[LarryK]

Oh, yeah, I know. Of course it was the right call.

But half (sometimes almost all) the fun of golf is griping about your bad breaks. What I'm really sore about is my uncanny inability to hit the middle of greens from 100 yards and out. This is really beginning to suck.

I too have been incorrectly adding penalty strokes (confessional). Now that I understand the rule my scores have gone up a pinch full at times.

THANKS!!!
