Hi, If i loss two balls from tee am i on shot 5 or 6 from third ball on tee?

It's your fifth shot. 1: normal tee shot, lost/OB 2: penalty 3: second actual swing, from the tee ; lost/OB 4: penalty 5: third actual swing, from the tee.

3 with the 2nd ball and 5 with the third ball - hitting 5 from tee.

I figure it like this when things go terribly wrong:  1 out, 2 in, 3 out, 4 in, 5 is next.

Don't jack that one out too, or you'll be hitting 7......:~( Welcome to the forum!

1 for hit 1 - 1

1 for the drop - 2

1 for hit 2 - 3

1 for the drop - 4

Hit 3 will be - 5

Glad you are playing it correctly and not going down to where your first ball went OB and dropping one there.  I see so many people doing that.  As you found out, your next ball could be OB too, unfortuantely.

Not to worry.  It's a short par 4, so he can simply hole-in-one on his 7th shot for an albatross.
