Where to drop the ball
Hey all, I have another rules question. The questions regards hitting a ball out of play from the fairway.
Scenario: It's a par 4 and I'm hitting my second shot from the fairway. The ball slices off to the right into a bunch of tall trees and bounces around in the woods. The first thing I do is drop a provisional ball from where I hit my last shot and advance the ball down the fairway. So I now walk ahead to see if I can find and play the first ball I hit. I go into the woods and find the first ball, but it's an unplayable lie. I noticed that the ball is about 60 yards closer to the hole (still in the woods) from the point it entered into the woods.
So here is the question: Where do I drop and play that ball? Do I drop it where it entered the woods, or can I walk straight out of the woods where I found it (60 yards ahead of where it went in), take a one stroke penalty and play it from there?
Thanks!
