Friendly discussion came up today. My drive comes to rest on or about on unclear OB line on perpendicular plane to tee box. Group says I am OB, I say not so I take provisional. Whether or not I am actually OB does not matter for this question. Both my provisional 2nd and/or my drop and throwing 3rd shot would be taken from same spot. So here is question:
Do I have to play them both out or play once and count result with and without penalty, determining later the correct ruling.
Discussion was why play both out when they are from same spot. I Understand if the point where disc entered OB is different than where it may have come back inbounds. But looking in rules 804.06 is unclear in this case. Ultimately I stated you need to play both always regardless if the two lies are hundreds of feet apart, 10 feet apart, or the same spot. Declare you are the playing group ruled shot and the declare you are playing the provisional. Thoughts or a clear rules identifier?
