Decision 1-1/2

Player Unaware He has Holed Out Puts Another Ball into Play

Q.A player, unable to find his ball, puts another ball into play. He then discovers that his original ball is in the hole. What is the ruling?

A.The score with the original ball counts. The play of the hole was completed when the player holed that ball.

Well, whattaya know? Here's one time my intuition lined up with the actual rule!

We had a situation somewhat like this, but it never made it that far. We held a golf outing & stag for a buddy of ours that was getting married. The second hole was a short par 4 of 245 yards over a rise. You couldn't see the green at all, just the top half of the flagstick. The prospective groom hit a fine shot, a baby draw with a 4 wood, that was just homing in on the pin!

Arriving at the green we can't find the ball anywhere. He's convinced it's over the green in the woods, and is looking there. I ask if he looked in the cup. "Oh, no! You're not making a fool out of me!" After more looking I asked again. He refuses to look, so I tell him that I'll do it.

I walk up to the cup and, son of a gun, there's his ball! I say, "Tim! Your ball is in the hole!" Still convinced I'm trying to skull job him he again refuses to come look. So, I show him my empty hands, reach into the hole, and pull out his ball. I ask him what he is playing. "Titleist 2."

"Well, here's your ball, and congratulations on a hole in one!" We all back slapped him and then, after the round, got him so hammered that my buddy had to drive him home, and then back out to the course the next day to retrieve his car!

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
