Why would it be two strokes penalty?  Your original tee shot (which was found and in play) is one. The penalty stroke for the unplayable is 2 and the re-tee (re-hit from the previous position as the option chosen under the unplayable) is your 3rd shot.  What am I missing or what did you not say, for example did you pick up the ball and then realized you couldn't use it?

I did not pick up the ball.   The official relayed to me that if I want to re-tee, I do so with 2 stroke penalty.  That is what I want to know, too.   Why 2 strokes?

He is wrong if that is indeed what he meant.  Sometimes the stroke and distance penalty is interpreted that way, because it is essentially a two stroke addition to ones score.  It's one penalty stroke, plus you lose the distance back to where you made the previous stroke.

He said 2 stroke penalty, not a penalty and distance.   He has to call the golf shop to relay the rule so something could have been lost during the relay.   I lost that hole b/c I gave up the hole after seeing my opponent make bogey.  Had I re-tee'd, I still had a chance to tie the hole.   Oh, well.

Yep, a provisional is only used if the original is lost or OB.  Once the original is found, other than OB, the provisional is dead.  This prevents you from choosing the option of chossing to use the provisional rather than one of the other unplayable options already knowing where the provisional is.

I did some misreading!  I seeing that Rick wanted to use his provisional after finding the original unplayable, which you can't do.  But after finding the original, it's like the provisional never happened.  So the new shot from the tee should be the third.  I don't see how anyone would apply a two stroke penalty for an unplayable, I hope there was a misunderstanding somewhere!

    • Day 162 - More pitching work, really focusing on letting the club fall and turning my body. 
    • Our home course would be very interesting.  It is short from the black tees (around 6000 yards) and very few holes are considered not reachable in GIR for golfers who drive max 250 off the tee.  But there are two difficulties.  Only 3 holes don't have an OB though admittedly in some cases it is just behind the green.  The harder part is almost all the fairways slope away on both sides from the centre meaning if you hit a draw or fade, you are likely to wind up at the edge of the fairway or off into the rough if you bounce in the wrong place.
    • I assume the 3 iron in your iron set would do the job.  If you don't have the club, you should be able to buy it as a single club
    • Day 45 (16 Jun 24) -  Happy Father's Day all - got in a few swings with the clubs, focused on alignment for chipping and pitching.  For me if the target it 12noon, I need to have my feet somewhere around 11 for a solid dead on line pitch/chip.  Worked from about 5yds out to 25yds.  Worked through a series of clubs - 54, PW, 8i and 6i - noting flight patterns of each.  
    • day 94. Realized I’m getting a little too handsy. Worked on getting the club into good places and much shorter, slower swings to learn the movement.
