Here's an example of crazy rules.

Par 4 over a hill. Landing zone is over the hill and blind to the Tee Box. Water hazard over the hill, towards the right side.

Player A crushes it over the hill and says, "****, probably reached the water".

Player B hits it over the hill, closer to the center of the fairway.

Both players walk to their respective landing areas.

Player A announces that he's found his ball, safe. Player B is still looking for his.

Player A hits his approach shot onto the Green.

Player B can't find his ball. No evidence it went into the hazard, so he goes back to the Tee and hits Shot #3.

Player B hits his approach onto the Green, closer than Player A.

Player A goes to make his putt and announces he hit the wrong ball in the fairway and the ball he hit to the Green, is actually Player B's ball.

Sort it out for scoring purposes
