has anybody an explanation why you must not play a provisional ball in case your ball is likely lost in a penalty area?
let's assume my ball is likely but not certain lost in a PA (it might have cleared the water). now i must not play a provisional, search for my ball and in case i cannot find it, head back and ply 3 off the tee. in case i find it inside the PA, i will head back to the tee as well and play my 3rd shot, only if i find it outside the PA, i will play it as it lies.
why can't i play a provisional, declaring that, in case i find my ball inside the PA, to use my provisional
