How Well Do You Know The Rules OF Golf?

What do I do when my  own playing partner calls me on a golf ruling?

My name is Ken and  I have a ruling problem that I would like clarified. I was involved in a  best ball golf tournament and I hit a wicked slice off the tee on a hole that has out of bounds stakes down the right hand side of the fairway. In the out of bounds area were a number of trees. My shot sliced itself out and it appeared from the tee that it definitely was OB.  So, I hit a provisional ball and then went to look for the original ball under the 5 minutes time limit for looking.

We found my original golf ball and to my surprise it was still in bounds.  My moron playing partner calls me out with his own interpretations of the golf rule.  He tells me that I must play the provisional ball because obviously the ball must have hit a tree that was ob and bounced back in bounds.  I went along with him in order to keep peace.

Who was correct?   Does anyone reading this know the answer to my dilemma?   Leave your comments below?

With this being my first written post I would like to tell you a little story about myself.

I started playing with my father in 1968.  There was a golf course owned by my father’s family in Northern New York along Lake Champlain.  I would spend all summer playing for close to nothing at all.

In 1973,  at the age of 17,  I had the opportunity to caddy in the W omen’s  United States Open for an amateur by the name of Janice Palmer.  I loved it and started caddying every year,  not only locally  but  when the LPGA came to Rochester, New York every year.
