Will the owner of this ball please see the club captain??
During the Club Championship member Wayne Arnott had the unfortunate experience of losing his ball on the 17th hole on 3 of the 4 rounds. Each time he had to disqualify himself as he could not identify where his ball had been and if it in fact it was taken by other players. A lost ball in other words. He could have made the long walk back but decided otherwise.
Each time he suspected that his ball had been pilfered by players playing adjoining holes.
On the last occasion, in the fourth round, Wayne hit his ball a little long and left of the green. To his dismay his ball was missing again but nearby he found a ball with a blue star marking and a blue Bonville logo, but a Callaway and not a Srixon. Driving away down the 12th fairway were some golfers in carts who he suspected had played the wrong ball.
You might ask how the captain came to be in possession of Wayne’s ball?
Well he in fact snapped his drive on 12 to the same area near the 17th green. Coming upon a ball with blue markings he hit his next shot and continued to the green without noticing that he had hit the wrong ball. What’s more he was paying so much attention that it was not until he reached the 18th green that he noticed he had the wrong ball. He suspected somebody had taken his ball from the 17th fairway and disqualified himself.
Talking to Wayne’s marker, Arthur, later on in the day and discussing Wayne’s bad luck he soon found out that he was the pilferer of the ball this week, especially when Arthur described the ball he had found and the ball he had lost.
There is a lesson to be learned from this situation. Although it is not compulsory each person should put their individual marking on their ball to help them identify it out on the course. Of course both Wayne and Dave had done this, so the lesson is that you should always check that you have the right ball before you play a shot, especially if you are in the rough.
Sorry Wayne, at least I didn’t lose your ball.
