Linda,
If I hit a provisional ball, and I hit it a second time, and
then I find my original ball, which is the ball I continue to play?
Lulu from Massapequa, New York
Dear Lulu,
You may hit your provisional ball as many times as necessary
to reach the area where your original ball is likely to lie. Once you reach
that area, you may begin searching for your original ball. If you find the
original, you must discontinue play with the provisional and finish the hole
with the original. If you hit the provisional from the area where your original
is likely to lie, or from a spot closer to the hole than that area, your
original is lost under the Rules and you must finish the hole with the provisional.
