If your ball is lost outside of a water hazard the penalty is stroke and distance. Return to the place that you last played from, drop (or tee, if it was a tee shot) and play from there. Count the shot that led to the lost ball and add one more, and count the replay.
Many beer leagues play drop it somewhere in the neighborhood of where the ball probably ended up, add a penalty stroke, and play on. Not USGA sanctioned, but on a public course where you have to get done before sunset it's a good way to keep the game moving.

∙ 15y agoIt's a one shot penalty, and you must go back to where you originally played the shot from. That is, if you hit a tee shot and can't find it, you go back to the tee. In the case of a shot from the fairway or rough you go back to as close to where you played the last shot from as possible.

∙ 10y agoOne shot penalty and you must go back to where you played the previous shot from, no exceptions. So if you hit a tee shot, and lose it in the trees, you take your penalty and play your third from the tee.
ANSWER:
too often, guys will just drop a ball where they think their last ball was lost and proceed with a one-stroke penalty.

∙ 9y agoIt depends on your definition of "one stroke". Take the following example:
You're on the tee and you hit your ball into the rough and you can't find the ball. Your original stroke is 1 stroke.
Your next "stroke" is moving your lost ball back to the tee box for your next stroke.
You would replace a ball on the tee and hit your 3rd shot.

∙ 13y agoIt is a one shot penalty and you must replay the shot. Some 1- off the tee ( out of bounds), 2- penalty shot, 3- off the tee, the next shot is 4.

What is the grounding of a forward pass?
If the ball is passed and either missed by a player or not caught and lost to the ground, it is an incomplete pass; a down is lost and play begins from the last line of scrimmage pending penalties. If the ball is thrown at the ground deliberately to avoid a loss of yards or being sacked, it is an intentional grounding foul; the offense is penalised. If there is no risk to the QB, it is a spike; the play counts as an incomplete pass. Note: an intentional grounding foul cannot be called if the ball crosses the line of scrimmage or goes out of bounds, even if there was no realistic chance of a reception.
Does a golf ball fly farther in hot or cold?
A hot ball would travel farther, assuming the same volume of air is within both. This is because the warm air would expand, creating pressure within the ball. The more firm the ball is, the less force it absorbs on impact, which causes the energy to be converted into momentum.
