This happened yesterday , and is in this thread for a reason

I was teamed up with a scratch golfer , and the runner up club champ
These 2 golfers are and were batting #1 in our top interclub teams the last 2 years respectfully

Now one of them hits his ball and it finishes some 30yards right of the 11th green , laying amongst a bunch of stones ...the NPR from the stones would see the player standing on a path for his next shot , the pair then hummed and harred about dropping , then redropping or maybe just dropping it the once on the opposite side of the stoney area

They called me over for my opinion ....

What wisdom would you have offered ?
