Depends...if I'm posting a score, it's 5 minutes, of course .

If not, I'll look as long as I can without pissing people off, if I think I know where the ball should be and it's possible to play on from that spot. If it's in an iffy area or obviously deep in jail, I don't bother looking at all.

Provisionals are essential...which leads me to another golf axiom: There are few things more irritating than hitting your provisional worse than the original ball. Really deflates the ego.

And when that happens, you're bound to lose the original. The opposite is also true, right? When you stripe your provisional 285 down the middle, you always find your provisional in the worst possible spot, right?
