Deniable
Ball
If, owing to the
unreasonable proximity of condominiums or other occupied dwellings along the boundaries
of a course, a player shall, upon making a wayward tee shot, hear a splintering,
cracking, or shattering sound, or some similarly alarming or worrisome noise,
he may at once declare his ball to be "inadvisable to play" and immediately tee
up and put into play in its place an "expedient ball" without assessing a stroke
or incurring a penalty. However, during the remainder of his play on that hole,
the player must behave as if his earlier misdirected shot never took place, and
if he sees the affected homeowner or is confronted by him and betrays any awareness
whatsoever that the mishap occurred, either by a verbal expression of apology
or regret or a physical gesture indicating frustration, embarrassment, or discomfiture,
then the stroke for his original errant drive shall be counted and all applicable
penalties shall be assessed.
