Re: Provisional Ball & going forward?
I understand what Filey is getting at here. My course has a pair of holes where it is reasonable to leave your bag in the rough between the holes (behind a tree so I don't risk hitting it) and walk to the 15th green with just your putter, wedge, and Driver (for the 16th tee). It saves carrying the bag about 400 yards (200 each way). In such a case, I would definitely state my intention to play a provisional ball before going to my bag. I can't see that this would be considered a violation, as you have clearly stated that you are NOT going forward to search.
