Because of ties, 6 players have qualified into a 9-hole final. One hole requires a 350' carry over a small pond. One player tees off and his drive hits the pond's opposite side coming to rest dangerously close to the OB pond line. From the tee, this player's disc is visible, but no player can definitively make a call about his lie - it is in or out?
While the group walks toward everyone's lies a well-intentioned spectator emerges from the gallery and retrieves this players disc, placing it safely on top of pond edge, near where the normal lie should be. Everyone in the group sees this spectator's actions.
The group wishes to decide the ruling themselves but cannot immediately come to a consensus on the ruling - 3 say it's in and 3 say it's out. What's the correct call? Why?
