GRQOTW118
Blakey and Stuart are playing in the Winter Cup at Wombat Hills, a prestigious one round stroke play competition.
On the 9th hole, Stuart hits his tee shot down the middle of the fairway. As they walk down the fairway, Stuart starts to get concerned that he cannot see his ball. In disbelief, Stuart starts to search for his ball however he cannot find it within 3 minutes. Stuart's marker, Blakey says, “that's not fair, you hit it down the middle. So just drop one here and keep playing.”
Relieved that Blakey was also in disbelief but knowing that he really doesn't know for sure that someone else took his ball, Stuart drops a ball in the middle of the fairway, adds no penalty strokes to his score, and makes par on the hole.
Stuart signs and submits his scorecard and later that afternoon, he is awarded the Winter Cup with a score of nett 70. Blakey came 2nd.
Discussing it later in the bar, Blakey says, “well done, you would have been hard done by if you had to go back to the tee on the 9th hole.” Jeff, sitting at the next table, overhears this and asks for more details. Jeff, who came 3rd, approaches the Committee about what happened on the 9th hole.
