Ask Linda #564a-Alternate shot: Who hits provisional?


Linda, would the partner be allowed to declare the next shot as a provisional, so that the original, if found in bounds, can be played?

Thanks,
Lou

Dear Lou,

Yes. In an alternate shot format, if there is doubt whether Player A’s ball is out of bounds, Player B (A’s partner) may declare his ball to be provisional [Decision 29-1/3].
