LOST BALL PROLCEDURE

Some golfers will drop a ball in the vicinity where they think the ball was lost and add a penalty stroke. When the ball is lost, the player must go back and hit again from the point where he last played a shot, incurring a one-stroke penalty, i.e. if you lose your drive on a hole, you must return to the tee and play three. (Rule 27-1)

 

Golfers commonly look for a lost ball longer than the five minutes allowed. The timing, however, begins when the golfer starts looking for the ball, not when he hits the shot. (Rule 6-7)
