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.
That is not the rule. OB is a stroke and distance penalty. You have to go back to where you struck the OB ball.
