Setup:
I hit a ball that may be lost and then I declare, and hit a provisional ball in the fairway.
Setup:
I hit a ball that may be lost and then I declare, and hit a provisional ball in the fairway.
The original ball is found, but it is deemed unplayable. It cannot be dropped within 2 club lengths, nor on a line keeping the spot between the drop and the hole.
Question:
Can I continue play with the provisional ball, or must I take the original ball back to the original spot of the stroke and hit it from there.
Thanks,

If you find your original ball, the provisional ball is then toast. If you choose to take an unplayable and take stroke and distance, you must go back to the tee and hit again. You can’t use the provisional.
you can only hit your provisional if you cant find the original or your original is OB
