Hitting Hydro wires twice !!!
So playing Metcalfe today and hit hydro wires off the tee,so they tell me to re-load.
What are the chances i hit the wires again i said. Bingo !!! I proceeded to go and hit the second ball where it was.Is this the right way or should i have reloaded a third time.
Just lucky i guess.

I've hit those lines too Marc. If there is a local rule in place you must replay the stroke so even hitting them the second time you would have had to rehit. See the decision below.
---------------------
33-8/13
Local Rule for Ball Deflected by Power Line
Q.An overhead power line is so situated that it interferes with the play of a hole. Would it be appropriate for the Committee to make a Local Rule allowing a player whose ball is deflected by this power line the option to replay the stroke, without penalty, if he wishes?
A.No. However, a Local Rule requiring a player to replay the stroke would be acceptable. The following text is suggested:
"If a ball strikes the power line during play of the ____ hole, the stroke is canceled and the player must play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was played in accordance with Rule 20-5 (Making Next Stroke from Where Previous Stroke Made)."
In some cases the Committee may wish to include in the Local Rule the towers or poles supporting such lines when the towers or poles are positioned such that they interfere with the play of the hole.

I believe it also applies at Edelweiss number 4 on the tee shot and Gatineau number 14 on the second shot.

That is consistency at its best, particularily if you hit the wires in the same spot.
Determined to keep the rough trimmed. One swing at a time.
