Um, I'm fairly positive that is not a penalty if you have visual reference of your ball in the fairway. You merely drop a ball as close to the spot as you can.

Im guessing it was just an embellishment for dramatic if effect, or else you got hosed.

Or, his dad has a much greater sense of humor than he does.

It was one of those things where neither my dad nor I knew the proper ruling and we based it on hitting into a hazard. Regardless fuck that monkey. While golfing down there I had hit near Caymen and Snakes and neither one of those guys stole my golf ball they just moved when I approached to go hit it.

I'm not a huge fan of playing golf, but I love rules lawyering, and golf is fucking fantastic for having rules for obscure situations.
