I NEVER look for or retrieve ball I hit out of bounds period. I take the penalty and hit where it crossed the out of bounds line. THAT is the rules. You don't waste time looking or retrieving Balls out of bounds slowing down play. But, some so called seasoned golfers think they are on the pro tour. Not only do NOT chase balls off the golf course I would be too embarrass to go on private property mulling around looking for golf ball. If I needed balls that bad I would buy the water balls someone has fished out of the ponds. Heck it I was that bad golfer in may improve my Game.
