On the 18th hole, Romeo tells Tin Cup he's down to his last ball and that if he doesn't finish the hole with it he'll be disqualified. (The announcer also says this, although how he knew this was his last ball is beyond me.) If Tin Cup had hit his last ball in the water, there are several ways he could have continued play. Since he's at the 18th hole, it would have been simple enough to step into the pro shop and buy some more. He could have borrowed one from a fan. If worse came to worse, Romeo could have jumped in the pond and retrieved one. He would have five minutes to do any of these. There is no rule that states that you have to have all the balls you might use at the start of the round. (Some years back a PGA golfer was DQ'ed when he ran out of balls. He <a href="http://www.interestonlyrefinance.biz" alt="Interest Only Refinance" target="_blank">only</a> started with two, lost both, was too far out on the course to buy any, and couldn't find any of the same brand and compression as required by PGA rules.) |
