Re: Identifying your ball

I don't see the application of 'equity' in the various (similar) situations (i.e., both original ball and provisional balls are not differentially identiable, regardless of where they end up)?

Rule 1-4
What is "Equity?"

Q.
What does the term "Equity" mean as used in the Rules of Golf?
A.
Equity means to treat like situations alike. Some situations are not covered by the Rules of Golf, thus the decision must be made according to what is fair under the Rules of Golf. Equity is not a substitute for a Rule.(Rule 1-4)
