Re: Identifying your ball

The way I look at it is this:

If it is the original ball in the hazard, the provisional must be abandoned.
If it is the provisional ball in the hazard, the original must be played as it lies.

The Decision resolves the situation by allowing the play of a provisional ball that in 50% of cases could not be used. However, why couldn't the player merely insist that one or the other was the original ball? Who is going to gainsay?
