Under rule 27-2 section c. When the original ball is neither lost or out of bounds. The player shall abandon the provisional ball and continue playing with the original ball. If the player fails to do so, any further strokes played with the provisional ball shall constitute playing the wrong golf ball and the provisions of rule 15 shall apply. (Two strokes penalty for every shot you hit with the wrong ball in stroke play or lost of hole in match play.) Your playing partner was wrong. Under rule 27-2 section c.

Rule 19-1 - Ball in motion deflected by OA is considered to be the "rub of the green". Rule 19-2/3 If ball hits caddie standing OB and is deflected onto the course then the ball is in play. So it's elementary my dear Watson! In this case what's the difference between a caddie and a tree? NONE The answer lies in the following: Definitions -

This is yet another example of why any golfer should spend a little time reading through the Rules and the Decisions in order to have a better understanding of various situations inevitable to come up. While reading the two books may be dry reading, there are several easy-to-follow books that make that task simpler. The first one that comes to mind is Barry Rhodes' book "999 Questions About the Rules of Golf."

However, he must announce it is a provisional. He cannot say something like, "Think I'll reload" or "Let's see what this one does"... If you find the ball within the five minutes (once you get on the scene), the only thing that matters is where it currently sits. An exception would be if someone witnessed an 'outside agency' moving the ball from out of bounds to in-bounds. For example, a young kid is witnessed picking it up and tosses it over the fence in-bounds. Or if a squirrel mistook it a nut and brought back in-bounds. Both are outside agencies. A tree and a fence or a rock would not be. He proceeded properly by hitting a provisional ball. However, he must announce it is a provisional.

By their logic, if your ball lips out of the cup on a putt it should be counted as in the hole :) Yeah, it makes no difference where the ball goes to get there – if it finishes up in-bounds you can play it.
