I have to admit I cheated once yesterday. It was OK'd by the group we were playing with since it was their fault, though. I hit over the green into the surrounding woods on my second. They were in the area and marked my ball for me with one of their hats. I play the ball. Turns out when I look at it on the green, wasn't my ball. Should have been penalty, but I blame them since they said it was mine and it was the same brand.

Also, general question on rules:
I had two more balls go DEEP into woods. One took me three strokes to get out. The other I dropped outside at the point of entry without really looking much and ended up bogeying the hole.

So, what are the rules on "how much" you have to look. I could have probably shvaed five strokes off my score if I would have shortened the search.
