Question 4 of 25

the rough. The rules sheet says "white paint lines mark OB rough." The disc is
nowhere to be found. The whole group agrees that the disc clearly landed in the
OB area. What next? - - A. Because not being able to find your disc is punishment
enough, the player marks a new lie within a meter of where the disc was last seen
with no penalty.
B. Because the group cannot locate the disc within three minutes, it is declared
lost, 805.03.A. The player receives a penalty throw and must throw from their
previous lie, 805.03.D.
C. Because the group agrees that the disc landed OB, it is OB, 806.02.A. However,
because the group cannot locate the disc within three minutes, it is declared lost,
805.03.A. The player takes two penalty strokes and returns to their previous lie.
D. Because the group agrees that the disc landed OB, it is not a lost disc, 806.02.C.
