Q.
If you have ever played golf, you will know that the ball doesn’t always go where you want it to. Sometimes it can go into places that make it hard to find. How long are you permitted to search for a ball before you have to give up and put another into play?
.
.
A.
Once you start searching for your ball, you have three minutes in which to search. If your ball is found within the three minutes, but identified after the three minutes as the player’s ball, provided the delay was due to the reasonable time it took for the player to get to where the ball was at rest, then the original ball was still the ball in play.
Rule 18.2 and definition of ‘Lost’ ball.
