My opponent had hit his second shot, the ball struck a tree trunk and was deflected then hit his caddie...what was the ruling?

While searching for my tee shot in the green side bunker, I inadvertently stepped on my ball as it was completely covered. My opponent observed me raking the spot where I located my ball. I marked it and notified him that I would have to remove it in order to identify it as being mine. He agreed to that and it was identified as mine. I told my opponent that I had discovered it's location by inadvertently stepping on it and that I would like to replace it as close to the level as it was previous to my stepping on it. He disagreed stating that he couldn't verify that I stepped on it and I must replace it in it's found condition...covered. What is the ruling?

After hitting they're shots from tee to green. Player A and Player B discovered they're balls came to rest three inches off the green and; they were touching one another. Both balls were held slightly off the ground by the stiff nature of the bermuda grass. Player B is closer to the hole. So player A lifted his ball to afford player B a shot. While attempting to replace his ball, Player A could not reintroduce it to it's Original lie. Whats the ruling?

Myself and fellow team player teed off on a par three. My tee shot was on the green, my team mate hit his original tee shot so far left he opted to hit a provisional which finished on the green close to the hole . As my team mate started to head into the woods with an official to search for his first shot. I suggested that he not find it and take the second ball in three one putt and we move on....opps! what do you think happened to me?

Damn! and I was in the $$. Until I started to get the "yips" so while I was waiting on the 13th. tee at Quail Hollow I decided to take a cuople of balls out and practice at the back of the teeing ground, only to find out?

Confession time you die hard hackers..Tell us the index and the name of your home course with it's ratings.

Myself and player B were in a stroke play tournament. We both said hello to the marshall and hit our tee shots on #18. Player B asked to test my driver and did hit another tee shot as practice. Now what happened.....ruling?

Match play earlier this month. Wet and slippery conditions exsisted. I hooked my tee shot on the fourteenth hole with the match all square In disgust I slammed my driver to the surface. After loosing sight of the ball going into the trees. I opted to hit a provisional. I re-gripped strong and swung hard the driver went flying down the fairway with the ball in the lead. I picked up the driver and was using it as walking stick. While searching for my original tee shot, I was using my driver as a aid on the slippery terrain. Upon finding the original ball I finished the hole and proceeded to the next tee, where my bag-man discovered the my driver head had fractured at the hosel. So then what happened....ruling?

There will likley be a handfull the will test positive.

Anyway my question is do you think this will effect his playing schedule...cause I got $$ on him for the 08' season? your thoughts?
