A provisional ball can be played when a golfer is uncertain if their original ball is lost outside a water hazard or out of bounds. To properly play a provisional ball, the player must announce their intention to hit one before doing so and must play it from the same spot as the original ball. If the original ball is found in bounds, the provisional ball is abandoned. If the original ball is lost or out of bounds, the provisional ball becomes the ball in play.

What happens in a game of golf when you lose the first ball you hit and then find it after you've hit a drop provisional?
You hit a provisional when the ball you just hit might be lost outside of a hazard. Usually that means you think you have hit it out of bounds or into some sort of mess where it's unlikely that you will find it. Hitting a provisional means that you are taking stroke and distance IF you don't find your first ball. If you find your first ball anywhere in play (whether or not you like where it is or even if it's unplayable) before you hit your provisional after reaching where the ball is likely to be, then the provisional is cancelled and you continue with your first ball, just as though you never hit the provisional. Once you've reached the point where your ball probably is and hit the provisional again, you're stuck with the provisional and the stroke and distance penalty that you took. This is covered in Rule 27-2, see www.usga.org. There are many interesting decisions related to this one, mostly about what constitutes a "lost" ball.

What rule governs teeing after lost ball?
Rules state that a lost ball costs you stroke and distance. In other words you add one to your score and go back to where you played the shot originally. If you hit a poor shot and think you may have lost your ball, most golfers will hit what is called a provisional. This means your provisional shot is in play if you can't find the first one you hit. This saves time and removes the necessity of returning to where you hit your shot originally. If you find your original shot you disregard the provisional ball. One addendum, on public courses in casual play, if no provisional ball was hit, most golfers will drop a ball near the spot they lost their ball, add a stroke and play on. Going back to the original spot and replaying your shot is time consuming and not really practical on a crowded golf course.
