The what if ?

What if you were playing in the club championship tournament finals and the match was even after 35 holes. You had the honor and
hit your ball two hundred fifty yards to the middle of the fairway, leaving a simple six iron to the pin. Your opponent then hits his ball, lofting it deep into the woods to the right of the fairway.

Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look for his ball. Just before the permitted five-minute search period ends, your opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I don't find it in time, I'll concede the match."

You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about ten feet from the pin. About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your opponent exclaim from deep in the woods:

"I found it!". The second sound you hear is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the ball comes sailing out of the woods and lands on the green, stopping no more than six inches from the hole.

Now the real "what if" in this story......

What if you had your opponent's ball in your pocket?

Have you been watching Goldfinger over the weekend??  haha.  Would be quite a story, but I think you'd know you had the same book of tricks and laugh it off....

I'd probably wake up, I've never hit a drive 250 yards straight down the fairway.....

I'm with Tim on this one.....

What's a fairway? 

And who hits a golf ball straight?

School boy error, I'd have waited until the 5 mins were up before playing anymore shots!!

I would have been in there with him............looking for mine. 

Under those circumstances I'd be in the woods for the full 5 mins helping him look for it. I've had it happen where you just can't find it but you walk away then get a shout that he's found it and he's got a wood out. You know there's no way he can get a wood to something that must have been a few inches down in thick grass!!
