no no...we would never have found it in the first place because we wouldn't have had a gallery and spotters to keep track of it for us....right Donny?

ROOF IT: Gary Hallberg made one of the wackiest pars on the PGA Tour, a story he relives a couple of times a year. It came up again last week when Woods hit a nine-iron that went onto and over the clubhouse roof at Firestone.
Hallberg once hit a shot that stayed on the roof -- and he played it from there in the 1982 Bob Hope Classic.
"I had an uphill lie on the 16th hole at Indian Wells," Hallberg said. "I had 150 yards to the hole, took a smooth seven-iron and got a flyer. I thought, 'Oh, geez, that's out of here.' The clubhouse wasn't out-of-bounds. My drop would have been in the rocks, or I could take an unplayable (lie) and go back to the fairway. The rules official said, 'Or you could play it.' And he was chuckling." The club manager got a ladder, the two climbed onto the roof and saw the ball in a bed of gravel and tar. "There were two palm trees between me and the green," Hallberg said. "I had 60 or 70 yards, and I hit it about 30 feet past the hole. I missed every putt that day. But I made that one."Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Only a golf addict could remember an incident from 24 years ago; but you said you played from the roof before. Where?

Abso-freakin-lutely!!! No bigger advantage. Imagine how many strokes the 'wayward' golfer could save with spotters and a gallery on every hole.

I've played with him, you would only have to stand about 150 yards down the fairway... and stay in the middle of the fairway so he doesn't hit you! But if he is in a greenside bunker, you will have to go about 175 yards past the green to find it for him!Proud member of the 2009 OG/TGN Ryder Cup Champions

Unless they changed things since I was there, the first tee on any of the 9s at Banff is not located on the roof of the pro shop. However, the first tee at the Yellowknife Golf Club ("Home of the Midnight Golf Tournament") used to be located on the Club House porch. You haven't lived until you've teed off at 10 or 11 at night!

My understanfing for not declaring a lost ball was that the ball had cleared the roof and they assumed someone picked it up by mistake on the other side. In the case where they know or assume someone picked up the ball and didn't return it, they do not declare a lost ball.
Kinda strage but with the entire kitchen staff out looking for it, who knows what might have happened to the ball.

I think what they were really hoping for is to have Tiger hit the ball off the roof. It would have been on every sports highlight reel on the planet.Al Gore didn't invent the internet, but he did invent global warming.

At the time of the ruling, well after 5 minutes, did they know that the ball had been picked up, or, where they still looking for it on the roof?

They didn't put the clock on because they thought it was on the roof. Then they found out it had been removed by an OA. They wouldn't have started the clock anyway until Woods had got up there to search.
