Fit unintentionally cheated not knowing the rules.
Canuck informed him of the correct ruling.
Fit objected.
Canuck clarified.
Fit changed his story.
Canuck called him on it.
Blakey told fit he was wrong.
Mega SMS'd Canuck confirming the unintentional cheat.
Numerous people are disappoint.
Took unplayable. Two clublengths. When dropping, it can then roll up to 2 clublengths from the point it strikes the course.
Fit thought that once it rolled outside the original two clublengths it had to be redropped. He picked up his ball on a legal drop, which is where the penalty would have occurred. He should have played it from where it stopped.
After the dust settled, he understood the rule and then said that his ball bounced nearer to the hole. Mega said it didn't.
GGF you dirty Canadian stirrer! I bet Simmsy SMS'd you.
He said you'd try and blame him!
ah got it now
I've worked it out. ****en Yoss!!!
Canuck, I knew I'd seen you on TV previously!

I am almost positve TF initial drop rolled closer to the hole.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
it looks as though, when all else fails.................
blame YOSS!
I was standing the closest and I am about 95% sure it did in fact kick forward.
Simmsy also got a free drop from burrowing kangaroo paws.
A new one:
Say your ball is stuck high in a tree like Jerry Kelly's was today. Where does he get to drop the ball. Within two club lengths assuming the ball was on the ground directly below?
Decision 28/11
Q - A player's ball is eight feet off the ground, lodged in a tree. The player deems the ball unplayable. May the player proceed under option c of Rule 28 which permits him to drop a ball within two club-lengths of where his ball lay unplayable?
A - Yes. The player would be entitled to drop a ball within two club-lengths of the point on the ground immediately below the place where the ball lay in the tree. In some instances this may allow the player to drop a ball on a putting green. (Revised)
Cheers.
Oh Bruce, we had a golden chance to really confuzzle him then.

Cheers Petey. I actually saw the ruling after it took them 15 minutes to identify the ball using a camera.
I'd like to see this thread used a bit more. It's good to discuss odd sort of rulings.

Had a good one on Saturday. Bloke believed an unplayable in a bunker could be dropped outside it (as per normal unplayable rules). Considering he DQ'd himself later it didn't matter, but I hope he does look up the rule to check now.
The other one is playing a provisional ball (second and subsequent shots) until it is closer to the hole than the original is likely to be. I am not sure of this is an RandA rule and not USGA or if it was changed sometime recently, as you can find advice that says the second stroke on a Provisional makes it in play.

I had always thought you could play the second ball until it is closer to the hole than the original balls suspected position.
Is this now not the case?
Also many people are not aware that a player cannot declare a ball lost, they just hit a second ball and complete the hole with that one, or on a non stroke round, wipw the hole.
