A scenario for you guys -

Stroke comp

Player hits tee shot into thick scrub about 20m from tee.

Player goes forward to search for the ball, can't find it quickly, so goes back to the tee to hit a provisional while partners continue search.

Before hitting provisional partners find ball.

Ball is in unplayable position, so player calls it unplayable and then hits shot from tee with the original ball (playing 3 from the tee).

Player hits this shot into the same area, ball is declared lost.

Player plays new ball from the tee (playing 5 from the tee).

Is all of this kosher as per the rules?
