Blind Golfers
Paul and David play their tee shots to the fairway on #12 at Mississippi, where the landing area cannot be seen from the tee. Approach shots are played to the green and David makes a long putt for a birdie. As David picks his ball, a Titleist 2, out of the hole, he realizes that the ball he holed is not his as he was playing a Titleist 3. Paul looks at his ball on the green and discovers that it is a Titleist 3, but he was playing a Titleist 1.
How do Paul and David proceed from here?

Stroke play:
Both golfers must go back to where the last known place of their second shot was, now hit their respective ball from the right place, and proceed from there - shots taken with the wrong ball are no longer valid and not counted as part of the score. Under rule 15-3 (b) both players will incur a 2 stroke penalty for not playing from the correct place. i.e. the correction of this will make both players shooting their 4th shot, instead of their second.
Failure to correct this before hitting their next shot on the tee ground will be a disqualification for both players.
Match play:
The first player to hit the wrong ball would lose the hole.
I think this is correct?
If so, who says length doesn't count.

You know we're all going to hell for this, right?
When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

I actually play fairly regularly with a guy who is legally blind. He's got the kind where his field of vision is narrowing so he can still see, just in a very narrow range.
Just the other day he hit the wrong ball from the fairway. The other player, mjf as it happens, noticed before he played his stroke with the wrong ball. Of course mjf can see, so he has no excuse.Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

I think they both have to return to #12 tee, unless they are certain Paul played David's ball? David would return to the place where Paul hit his ball under penalty? Am I way off?

I believe according to RCGANG Rules blind players playing at night are allowed to play the wrong ball.
