If it's a friendly game and there was 100% no doubt that it could be anywhere else (hazard nearby, OB, thick brush or trees, etc.) then we do with no penalty.
Here that's not even a guarantee lol. Between leaves or plugged balls, you can lose them in the fairway too.
Do any of you plays at clubs or in events, that, when all the leaves are falling, a local rule is instituted that basically says, if a ball cannot be found, and there are lots of leaves in the area, AND the group agrees that the ball has got to be in that area, the player may take a drop (no penalty involved) in the area and continue play?
I played at a club last year that had this unwritten rule during the fall. Last week, I played in an event, and thought that this would have been a good local rule to implement.
This is also the only time of year yellow balls can really suck....really blends in with the leaves.
^^^^this^^^^I've stopped taking drop penalties when I lose my ball in the leaves during the autumn months. Really sucks when you see the flight of the ball, saw where it landed, go there to the spot only to see nothing but leaves.
I always tell my playing partner "It probably went into a gopher hole under the leaves. Free drop."
We had to use that rule for Darrell last Saturday
I'm no arborist, but my drove landed right on it!What is that? an albino maple?
Does anyone find that in addition to leaves swallowing up your ball, the autumn sun just seems to put a glare on everything? Something about the low sun this time of year...so many lost balls in plain sight.
