Congrats!! now, about those Nike Golf Kids clubs on sale...

Here! Here! Congratulations on the special delivery. Glad everyone is doing well. No you really won't be playing much golf...

No, makes my brain hurt thinking about it.



Kev, thanks for sharing the photos of your handsome family! He's a beautiful baby. Very cool.

OK. Along these same lines. What is supposed to be done when you hit a long tee shot just off the fairway and into a tree line. Green is not in sight but you know where it is located. Hit the second shot over all the trees and when you walk towards the green you cannot find the ball and agree to a drop location. After you get onto the green and go to pull the pin, theres the first ball in the cup. Is it a 5 stroke hole or the 2?

So I'm a chump I took the 2

Chief, I'm relieved to find that you are not a chump! Here's a quote from the USGA rules webpage:

"Q. A player, unable to find his ball, puts another ball into play. He then discovers that his original ball is in the hole. What is the ruling?

A. The score with the original ball counts. The play of the hole was completed when the player holed that ball."

Sorry to take so long, posts on the rules forum don't get emailed to me, so I have to remember to look here. Nor are line breaks, is seems.
