You can either
- Play the ball as it lies,
- Take a penalty (1 stroke) drop two club lengths from where the ball lies
- Go back, as far as you want, keeping the point where the ball is between you and the flag and drop it (1 stroke penalty)
- You can go back to where you played the last shot from, (1 stroke penalty).
The above rules assume you find your ball, if you can't find it, you must use the fourth option.
There are three options for continuing play when your ball gets stuck in a tree: play the ball as it lies; declare the ball unplayable; or take a lost ball. Most people declare the ball unplayable. Under rule 28 - If the player deems the ball unplayable, he must,under penalty of one stroke, play the ball as nearly as possible at the spot the original ball from which the original ball was last played or (2) drop a ball behind the point where the ball lay.

How can you hit a golf ball farther?
I heard you can microwave them, though this might be for "wound" golf balls which aren't that common anymore. Land your drive on a cart path, hit a tree.... it will cost you strokes on the green. OR you could just play it for 20 years and see if it can stand up to the beating.

Where did the golf ball come from?
Well the golf ball can sometimes feel like it came from out space considering the odd things it does...at least when i sometimes play. But the first golf balls in the game of golf as we know it were first fashioned from wood as were the clubs in Scotland as far back as the 1500's. This progressed to a featherie type ball around 1618 made of goose feathers tightly packed into a sphere from a horse or cow hide when wet...so when this dried the ball became hard. Over the years the ball progressed.... >1848 - Guttie or Gutta percha ball: Made from rubber like sap of the gutter tree found in the tropics >1898 - Coburn Haskell ball: One piece ball with a rubber core >1905 - The dimples were applied to the golf ball: The hasken ball had dimples applied to them by William Taylor >1972 - The Two peice ball: Spalding first introduced the two piece ball ....and even today golf ball design is always changing and progressing!
