Provisional
Provisional Ball
If a player hits
a ball that he is confident he will be able to find or that he is certain remained
within bounds, and he therefore decides not to hit a provisional ball, but then
upon reaching the place where he knows it must lie he is nevertheless unable to
find his ball or discovers to his surprise and consternation that his ball has
gone deeply, totally, and indisputably out-of-bounds, that player may elect to
avoid the delay of returning to the tee or some other distant point to hit a second
ball from the spot where his original ball was played and instead make a powered
drop and throw a ball, without any additional penalty, into whatever part of the
fairway he reasonably believes a provisional ball would have come to rest had
he hit one in the first place.
