Hi Linda,
I have question: What is the rule when the ball is hit into
a cart parked on the course near the hole and the ball is lodged in the cart
and the cart moves away from the hole and the player is told his ball is in the
cart back at the tee? Does he play the ball at a new location or where the cart
was when hit?

Dear Lou,
When a ball lands in a cart and the cart subsequently drives
away, the ball must be dropped on the spot directly under the place in the cart
where the ball landed. The person who witnessed this occurrence should be
enlisted to point out that spot to the player. If the player cannot recover his
ball (as in your situation), he may drop another one. The drop must not be
closer to the hole [Rule 19-1].
Linda
